Appearance

Domo-kun is humanoid creature with a pear-shaped head, dark circles on his cheeks and braided dark hair with a ribbon at the end. He wears an orange jumpsuit that covers his entire body apart from his hands. Nnke-kun is a creature that consists of a mushroom cap-shaped head segment and several tentacle-like appendages. He has two eyes and a mouth with some missing teeth.

History

Domo-kun and Nnke-kun once had an encounter with Pandaman. As Domo-kun preyed on Pandaman with a net in hand, Nnke-kun descended from a UFO. The two aliens attempted to capture Pandaman using the net, but were beaten up and forced to reflect while Pandaman lectured them. They then ran away when a strange bear-like creatured appeared.

Trivia

"Domo-kun" is also the name of a fictional creature that has served as NHK broadcasting's mascot since the late 1990s. Though predating this character by several years, Oda's Domo-kun (and Nnke-kun) may still have been named in a deliberate homage, as their names were not established until Databook Blue in 2002. One of the events God writes into existence in God's Gift for the Future is the appearance and crash of a UFO. This possibly explains how Domo-kun and Nnke-kun ended up on Earth, as the UFO design is very similar to the one later used by Nnke-kun on the inside covers of One Piece volumes.
