**Inazuma** is an young electrified xoynx puppy and is the major contributor used for the Dominion Kaizen Foundation in their Project: Icarus. As shown but the colour of his fur, he is capable of emitting high voltage electricity from his body, which was used as a power source for multiple projects, machines and experiments despite being young.

Before getting a given name, he was referred to as a product number, being "**Project: Zeus**" or "**Jupiter**" simply for having powers similar to the lightning bolt Zeus, the mythological god, would throw.

## **Background**

### **Distinctive features**

Inazuma is a small canine creature with mustard yellow fur and small patches of cream brulee yellow. He has four alien-like ears, two being regularly animal-shaped, and the others are long, floppy and koala-like. The inside of his ears is a biloba flower colour. Other parts of his body, mainly his paws, consist of a melanzane violet colour, making his overall palette represent the colour combination for electricity.

Totogi's pupils are bright vermilion orange, with torch red borders. His overall eye colour is a faded rajah orange. His pupils mostly take up the capacity of his eyes. Totogi wears a collar around his neck, seemingly the same colour as his pupils. He has sharp teeth and a large mouth, and his teeth are an off-white colour, possibly because of his diet.When Totogi is using his powers, his irises will contract, similar to a cat. The fur on his body would spike up due to his emotions creating static electricity. His claws are also retractable, which canines aren't capable of doing.

### **Behaviour and traits**

Totogi may appear intimidating at times, but he is a sweet and lovable puppy. He tends to sleep a lot during the day as the positive and negative charges need rest to work as he is still a pup. Totogi can even talk, he is capable of speaking some English dialect, but usually come out as broken and scrambbled words, an unnamed alien language, and Hawaiian. Totogi loves to be petted and will even purr if he's comfortable. He loves parties and music, and he could even start dancing on his hind legs with perfect balance. He is still a half-trained/half-wild canine, so he could act towards his instinct if agitated.

### **Development**

Inazuma was first created as green alien puppy in the animation's pre-production, he was originally meant to be a tag-along character that the Worlds Colliders would meet half way through the series. Before inheriting his current name, he was named "Kepler", which is named after the planet they live on, Kepler-22b. Kepler was originally going to belong to Spinel, and could not speak a language besides barking.

A few months later, Kepler's character was going to be scrapped, as his personality served no purpose within the series. But eventually, his character design was redrawn and developed, taking wide inspiration from Pikachu and Stitch. His demeanour and personality was changed from an average pet, to a jumpy, enthusiastic bio-electric sidekick and pet of Lapis and Peridot, under the watch of inspirational movies, like Moana and Lilo and Stitch. His name soon became "Totogi", which means "charge" in Samoan. Finally, his name was changed to become "Inazuma" which literally translates to "lightning" in Japanese.

## **Trivia**

* Totogi is owned by Peridot and Lapis, as a tribute of their previous and other current pet, Pumpkin.
* Totogi's design and voice were inspired by Stitch from *Lilo and Stitch,* and his powers inspired by Pikachu from *Pokemon*.
* Totogi's eyes and teeth glow in the darkness as most of his bodily fluids contain bioluminescence, for example, his tears, saliva, etc.
	+ When Totogi is in a defensive state, the fur on his back spike upwards due to the static electricity emitting from his electric organs.
	+ Totogi's electric powers can electrify water or any other liquid depending on the voltage he is discharging.
* He has an incredible sense of hearing as he has four ears, his two longer ears have a better sense.
* Totogi is easily irritated by flashing lights and really loud noises, he would not run away but he would become defensive.
* Totogi is intelligent, he may have cat and dog characteristics, but him being a pet does not mean he is a lower member from the WC's, he can be a big help.
