Tanuki


Apparently Raccoon Mario was based on a Tanuki - a mythical Japanese creature.

Here's a: "Semi-traditional representation of tanuki, drunk and with its kintama (golden balls) dragging."

Seems right in line with the earlier Mario thread. I hope he stars in the next episode.

I just noted that his balls are not in fact gold.

his sack is not gold. as for his balls, it is hard to say.

apologies to anyone on this list who might be offended by discussion of balls or their sacks.
