Dogtato-kun (じゃがいぬくん, Jagainu-kun) is a popular anime in Japan. Dogtato is one of the half animal, half vegetable inhabitants of "veggie-town". There are 25 episodes of Dogtato, as well as one promotional episode. The word Jagainu-kun comes from the Japanese word for potato (Jaigaimo) and dog (inu).
Characters
Jagainu-kun is the main character. When happy, his tail sprouts a flower. Hedgetato-chan is Dogtato-kun's girlfriend. She is a pink hedgehog/sweet potato who sprouts many flowers when she is happy. Eggplooch-kun is a purple dog/eggplant with shiny skin which squeaks when rubbed. Eggplooch travels by spinning rapidly. Croconion-kun is a long, thin crocodile/spring onion with a maniacal laugh who tends to pop up in odd places, such as underneath Dogtato (episode 2), or is often seen standing upright on a hilltop, talking to no one in particular. His shadow appears to have a mind of its own, and an equally maniacal laugh.
In one episode, they venture around, and soon, they find themselves in "Straight" land. In another, they find a cave with bubbles that capture sound. These examples demonstrate Dogtato's playful style of storytelling.
