Araiguma

Known affectionately as 'Araisan' throughout the series, this raccoon is one of Kemono Friends' most beloved comic relief characters. Her story kicks off when she mistakenly snatches the protagonist's cherished hat from their backpack, setting off a wild chase across the entirety of Japari Park alongside her partner Fennec. Despite her sky-high confidence and relentless enthusiasm, her impulsive nature frequently leads to hilarious self-inflicted mishaps. Beneath her boisterous exterior lies a genuinely wholesome spirit with an unstoppable drive to act. Her distinctive verbal tic 'nanoda' has become one of the franchise's most recognizable catchphrases.
