His hometown is the Yodogawa area of Osaka, where he received his first bath. His father is a kappa and his mother is a duck. When the plate on his head dries, he develops his father’s sturdy physique. If it dries too much, he may accidentally turn into a mummy as he is…! Please continue to support me, Dappa!
