Kerokerokeroppi (ja:けろけろけろっぴ) also known as Keroppi Hasunoue (はすの上 けろっぴ, Hasunoue Keroppi) is a frog character with large eyes and a V-shaped mouth.[91][92][93] "Kero" means "frog's croak" and "Hasunoue" means "on a lily pad".[94] Keroppi is portrayed with a large family and many friends who are frogs. He is also friends with Denden, a snail, and Teruteru, a teru teru bōzu. Originally created as part of a promotion for the rainy season, the first Keroppi items were released in 1988. Designs in Japan commonly include puns on the Japanese word for frog, kaeru (かえる), which has many homonyms.[100] According to British newspaper The Independent, the popularity of Keroppi was close to that of Hello Kitty in the early 1990s, "particularly in the UK", but then went down. Keroppi was number one in the Sanrio Character Rankings in 1990.[81] Keroppi has appeared in video games, including Kero Kero Keroppi no Bouken Nikki, Kero Kero Keroppi no Daibouken, and Sanrio World Smash Ball!. He has also appeared in several animated series. In Japanese, Keroppi was voiced by Yoshiko Matsuo. In English, he was voiced by Jill Frappier in Keroppi and Friends, Kira Vincent-Davis in Hello Kitty's Animation Theater, Sarah Hauser in The Adventures of Hello Kitty and Friends, and Georgie Kidder in Hello Kitty and Friends Supercute Adventures.
