## **Character Description**

### **Physical Description**

Light tan fur with darker brown accents over eyes. Red happi coat, wide woven straw hat at his back, large apron around his waist, walking staff in one hand, gun in the other. In the more recent episodes he has changed from a red happi coat to a blue one.

## **Biography / Story**

### **Background**

He came from a fairly far off isolated island, got tired of the boredom and decided to travel the world with a hunger for stories, legends, and food. Understanding life isn’t free, he takes every opportunity to make money because though money can’t buy happiness, it does grant you freedom.

## **Relationships**

### **Kilian Ó Broin**

Danzan thinks that Kilian is a good kid but needs to laugh more. He has tried to ship Kilian with Cricket on a few occasions, since he thinks that he needs to find a sweetheart.

### **Cricket**

He thinks that Cricket is the only one who knows how to be silly and have fun without getting herself or the party killed. He wants to drink with her more often.

### **Harrow**

Like Cricket, Danzan thinks of Harrow in a similar way. Danzan thinks that Harrow knows how to be silly and have fun but unlike Cricket, he is playing with fire most times. Live and let live so long as he doesn’t hurt the profit margin.

### **Aseux**

Danzan likes Aseux's style. She’s got the right ideas and sales pitch, but she lacks the one thing that a TRUE salesperson needs. Charm.

### **Viltautas**

He does his thing, and Danzan does his. In Danzan's eyes, he seems like Kilian but with added years of experience and confidence.

## **Trivia Information**

* The name Danzanburou appears to be in reference to Danzaburou (*Danzaburō-danuki* or *Danzaburou-mujina*), who was the supreme commander of the tanuki on Sado Island.
* Many of Danzanburou's physical and personality traits seem to be in reference to the Tanuki from Japanese folklore, including (but not limited to) his penchant for trickery and illusion, his large stomach that he often beats like a drum, and his Lucky Sack that has been used several times throughout the series.
* GaijinGoombah created a Tanuki homebrew race for DnD 5e, which is available on the Dungeon Master's Guild.
