Sgt Frog Abridged/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Compare/contrast the Character Sheet for the source anime.

Keroro Platoon

Sergeant Keroro

In the Abridged series, Keroro is an odd mix of useless Jerkass with a desire to accomplish his mission. Sadly his invasion plans wouldn't even make sense to a two-year old. Has a fear of being useful, is in a relationship with subordinate Tamama, and is apparently Hispanic. Voiced by Mugiwara Yoshi.

"Skeet, bang my nig- no?"

  • Take That: Tends to say the most of them. Directly invoked it in Episode 5:

Tamama: "I guess they don't sell Waka Wakas on this planet."
Keroro: "Tamama, you're in a burger store. They sell burgers."

Giroro: "[beat] Well I didn't know that."

Keroro: "And now you know! [Beat] Yeah... Take That."

    • Also in the Episode 1 remake:

Keroro: *While tied up* "Well I'm gonna jack your rope! [beat] Yeah. Take That, you little shit!"

Private Tamama

Tamama is Keroro's adorable boyfriend until he is revealed to be a "she" at the end of Season 1. Tends to act stupid like the rest of the platoon, but occasionally exhibits rational thought. Voiced by ThornBrain.

  • Ambiguously Gay: Averted. One of his nicknames is "fagmuffin". Becomes subverted when he ends up being straight only because he is a "she".
  • Ambiguous Gender: Both in- and out-of-universe. Even Tamama herself didn't know she was a girl!
  • The Chick
  • Cloudcuckoolander
  • The Ditz
  • Dropped a Bridget On Him: Tamama turns out to be female, much to the surprise of everyone, including herself. This sent Keroro into 'straight panic' in episode 11.
  • The Other Darrin: Was played by Yoshi in Episode 3R; he and Thorn intended to trade off as the character's voice actor for each episode, but this was Yoshi's only credit as Tamama before he lost the voice. This was one of the reasons Episode 3 was remade along with the first two episodes.

Corporal Giroro

Giroro is Keroro and Dororo's lifelong friend, though he is less than pleased with Keroro's failures and would like their platoon to successfully invade Earth. Has/had a very transparent crush on Natsumi until getting together with and eventually marrying Dororo, and is a transvestite. Voiced by ThornBrain.

"At least I'm PRETTY!"

Lance Corporal Dororo

After being stranded in the forest with a broken leg, the lonely, depressed, mentally damaged, socially awkward, unpopular rich kid Dororo became a ninja. He appears to have a form of Stockholm Syndrome in relation to Keroro and Giroro, but his only true friends may indeed by Giroro and Koyuki; nobody else seems to care about him. Voiced by ThornBrain.

(Sobbing) "My mom bought me that day planner..."

    • Subverted in Episode 10, where he appears to reveal resentment towards his mother.
  • My Name Is Not Durwood: Characters often switch his name with something starting with D (Doorknob, Dorito) or something completely random (Laryngitis, Hangnail).
  • Oblivious to Love: Koyuki sees him as a good friend, but for the most part he seems oblivious and just wants his platoon to be his friends (which he actually did accomplish with Giroro; then they kept going).

Sergeant Major Kululu

Kululu is creepy and he knows it. Most of his time is spent being weird. Voiced by Jpace92.

  • Affably Evil
  • Catch Phrase: "HEGH!"
  • Cloudcuckoolander: He's aware of it.
  • Jerkass
  • The Other Darrin: He was voiced in Episodes 2R and 3R by GhostTC, who left before Episode 5. One of the reasons Episode 3 was remade along with the first two.
  • Start of Darkness: The team was in fear of this due to Future Kululu wanting to kill them all, which is taken seriously in Episode 12. He actually seems pretty mellow about the team.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Subverted. Throughout the first season he's about as blatant as his main series counterpart. However it was mostly his future doppelganger. The real Kululu returns at the beginning of Season 2, and he mellows out considerably.
  • Troll: He once trolled a leading economic power and the leaders of the world at once.
  • Un Evil Laugh: Has switched out to the much less menacing, much more nasally "HEGH!"

Angol Mois

Mois is a sweet alien girl with a big crush on her longtime family friend Keroro. As opposed to the original Mois, this character has actually accomplished her mission to destroy the world. Voiced by codeblackhayate.

  • Action Girl: If only once.
  • Affably Evil: Her only reason to be on Earth is to destroy it.
  • The Ditz: Though not so much stupid as innocent.
  • Satellite Character: She accomplishes her mission in her introduction episode, so now she has no reason to be there.


Humans

Fuyuki Hinata

Scatterbrained, bit stupid, and Keroro may be his only friend. Voiced by ThornBrain.

Natsumi Hinata

The girl of the house who is less than amused by the Keronians. She is the center of attention at her school by all of the females, and she wishes she could just have a friend instead of an admirer. Voiced by LillyLivers.

Aki Hinata

The mom. She is a manga editor who is so desperate for ideas that she will take anything. Voiced by LillyLivers.

Keroro: (In Spanish) I'm the house inspector?

Aki: (Pulls him into her breasts): "Well you'd better be thorough!"

Keroro: "Soy un major yes."

Koyuki Azumaya

A ninja girl with a crush on Natsumi. One of Dororo's few real friends (and Natsumi's for that matter). Voiced by Revy Moonshine.

Momoka Nishizawa

Fuyuki's secret admirer with extreme bipolar disorder. Voiced by Narusasu.

  • Actor Existence Failure: Partial reason for why she had no speaking roles between Episodes 2R and 10, not because the voice actress was gone between then, but because finding one for her debut episode was such a pain.
    • The SFA2 remake instead explains this as Tamama being annoyed with Momoka to the point of not speaking with her until trees start dying.
    • Happened again with her current VA: Narusasu moved to Japan and, due to her housing conditions, can't voice in the series anymore.
  • Killed Off for Real
  • The Other Darrin: She was voiced in Episode 2R by LillyLivers. Excludes the revolving door of voice actors the character had before she even debuted.
  • Your Head Asplode: The end of Episode 13.

Mutsumi Saburo

Natsumi's secret crush. He has a radio show, despite being mute.


Other Recurring Characters

Narrator

The disembodied voice that details the setting of a scene and makes sarcastic remarks. His role is considerably smaller than his Keroro Gunsou counterpart. Voiced by, and basically just is, ThornBrain.

Chief Medic Pururu

A childhood friend of Keroro, Giroro and Zeroro with something of a loony streak. Arrives out of nowhere to give the platoon checkups, which is just a cover for her to find out the platoon's weaknesses. Voiced by LillyLivers.

LillyLivers (On Coney Island): "Most backwards fucking place in the world..."

"When my mommy drinks juice, nobody's happy."

  • The Mole: She's actually there to learn the platoon's weaknesses and relay them to HQ.

Solid Snake

The main character of the Metal Gear Solid games makes recurring cameos to reference said series. He mostly appeared as a recurring One-Liner gag, but became an actual In-Universe entity in Episode 7. Voiced by ThornBrain.

Raiden

The fellow main character of the Metal Gear Solid games has also started appearing in Season 2. He does not reference MGS so much as act like a walking Metrosexual Facebook / Twitter feed. Voiced by BigTUnit1.


Villains

Viper

Viper is a half-snake, half-humanoid space pirate with an apparent history with the Keroro Platoon, (he's Dororo's dad). After capturing Dororo and Koyuki in Episode 4, he is relegated to just appearing occasionally as a vocal cameo. Voiced by BigTUnit1.

  • Luke, I Am Your Father: Averted. The characters just seem to know this, though Zeroro tries to deny it. He can't. Eventually it leads to a breakdown in Episode 10.
    • Now subverted, as Dororo isn't even sure if Viper is his father anymore.


Future Kululu

Kululu's future self. He is apparently the Kululu we saw from Episode 6 through Episode 10, and the present-day Kululu was trapped somewhere. Also voiced by Jpace92.


HQ

An unnamed Admiral in the Keron Army with a lethal loathing of the Keroro Platoon. He dumps the platoon on Earth to get rid of them, only to send people and weapons after them to kill them. Generally speaks in a bored monotone. Voiced by TheSmashBro.

  • Bad Boss
  • Big Bad
  • Driven to Suicide
  • Dull Surprise: His usual speaking voice. You get the sense that he's not crazy about his job.
  • Jerkass: He dumped the platoon on Earth with the implication that he just wanted them out of the way. He never made clear that they still had an invasion mission, and now he's trying to kill them for wasting time doing nothing.
  • The Voice: Never seen; only heard over intercoms, answering machines, or while having a monologue to a black screen.
