Cousteau
From Animal Crossing Wiki
Revision as of 13:46, 14 July 2015 by mediawiki>Emolga-girl(→House)
Cousteau (ハルマキ, Harumaki) is a jockfrogvillager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, but was absent in Animal Crossing: Wild World and made a reappearance in Animal Crossing: City Folk. His name is French, and some famous Frenchmen have had it as a second name. His name and personality together may refer to Jacques Cousteau. His initial phrase, "oui oui," is French for, "yes yes" (or agreement, so usually just "yes"). His species relates to the common French stereotype in which frogs are a type of food, specifically frog's legs. Like Cousteau, Gaston the rabbit and Marcel the dog are French.
However, Cousteau being labelled as French exists only outside of Japan. His name in Japanese is the word "Spring Roll," a traditionally Chinese dish. Thus, his name, house, as well as his appearance may lead him to be labelled as Chinese by some.
Cousteau is a yellow frog with orange spots. He also has a black mustache on his face which goes with his French name and quote. His original shirt is a Vegetarian Shirt, which may relate to another French stereotype, that the French are professional cooks - although vegetarian restaurants are rare there, which makes it debatable. He may be mistaken for a cranky villager due to his elderly and adult appearance.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.
As a jock villager, he will be outgoing and will always enjoy exercising and staying fit and is friendly towards the player, but he won't get along with lazy villagers due to their lack of exercising and he won't get along with snooty villagers since he doesn't care about fashion and he will ask about their weight and physical appearance. He will get along with normal and peppy villagers.
