Shikao

Shikao is a cousin of The Prince. Shikao was first introduced in Katamari Damacy, and appears in all sequels as well. This particular cousin is orange with a perfect square, almost TV-shaped head. In We ♥ Katamari, his face changed position from a flat side to the middle of an edge because he turns his head away when watching scary movies.
