Thank Dog! Somebody was getting too excited. I had almost forgotten that there was pictorial evidence of Falco singing (and dancing?!). Sadly, I can’t convey the sound of his voice to you, but you are free to use your own imagination…

Mochi SFX: GARURU – GARURURU

The Japanese temple guardians, koma-inu (”Korean dog”), originally appeared as companions to Chinese guardian lions. As an Akita puppy, Mochi is of course a ”kuma-inu” (bear dog).

Another time I will draw a serious story to explain why Mayann has a rare Japanese puppy. Until then, enjoy some origin theories:

Inukko matsuri

Inugami

Mochi’s parents

Kagami-Mochi

Mochi – a secret project of the Imperial Japanese Navy?
