An interesting message comes to us related to one of the most important Nintendo franchises. We are talking in this case of Animal Crossing.
In the tweet that we leave you below, we can see the original inspiration of Captain, one of the most beloved characters in the series and sadly absent from New Horizons. Although in the West it has always been thought that its inspiration is in a turtle, in Japan they know well that it is actually inspired by a Kappa, a mythical river monster that sucks organs through the anus to the people.
Here is the message:
Yokai Crossing:
Kapp’n is a villager in the Animal Crossing series, who in English versions is referred to as a turtle. But in Japan he’s actually a Kappa — a mythical river monster that sucks organs out of people’s anuses.
