      Yoshiyuki Sadamoto designed the character to meet the staff’s request to include a being that could serve as the series mascot. Because the show is set in Hakone, a town known for its hot springs, Pen Pen was at first conceived as a monkey, but the idea was considered unattractive and was discarded. Pen-Pen is possibly inspired by Mister Pen-Pen (Mr.ペンペン), a genetically modified penguin that appears in a 1986 anime of the same name.

    Rent in Gotham has gotten so ridiculous even a superhero like PenguinMan can’t afford a full icebox any more – let alone an apartment! :p

    (What’s up with the title though, Merde?)

      generated titles, to avoid “preheating” the perception, to get comments like yours :)

      thanks for that 👆
