The wildly popular anime "Kemono Friends" continues to be a hot topic even after its broadcast has ended. Recently, there was even a collaboration with FamilyMart!
In this article, we'll explore the charms of the "Kemono Friends" character, "Alpaca Suri"!
What is "Alpaca Suri"?
This is a friend that appears in episode 3 of "Kemono Friends." By the way, the "Suri" in "Alpaca Suri" is the name of its classification.
It has a fluffy appearance and wears a white sweater. Its hair is white (cream colored) and covers one eye. It has a gentle, warm, soothing personality and speaks in a unique dialect.
It runs the "Japari Cafe" at a facility at the top of Kozan Mountain.
It is usually peaceful, but as an alpaca, it has the habit of spitting when it becomes stressed.
Dialect of "Alpaca Suri"
As mentioned earlier, the alpacas in the series speak a unique dialect. While the most common theory online is that it's "Tochigi dialect," it's actually an ad-lib by voice actress Yukiyo Fujii. Some sources say, "If you live alone on a mountaintop, you might have an accent," or "It's the image of an old lady."
Let's take a look at some adorable alpaca speech using lines from the anime!
"Wow! Welcome! Welcome to Japari Cafe! Please, please, take your time! I've been waiting for you! Finally, a customer has come! I'm so happy! Hey, what would you like to drink? We have a variety! The professor told me this is called black tea! There's hot water coming out of here, so please use that...!"
This is the scene where the alpaca first appears. He speaks this line quickly and with great intonation. Many people have been stuck in their heads. It's addictively cute.
Japari Cafe
Episode 3, "Mountain," is the episode in which alpacas make their main appearance.
Serval, Kaban, and Toki notice a facility at the top of the mountain. It's the "Japari Cafe," run by alpacas.
Watching the bird friends passing by above the cafe, Toki thought, "It'd be nice if they could take a break here," and decided to open the cafe. Apparently, they also learned how to make tea at the library. However, as it's located at the very top of the mountain, it often goes unnoticed and no customers have come until now.
Then, Kaban-chan came up with the idea of drawing a geoglyph of coffee cups on the mountain. Toki, who liked the tea, became a regular customer. Then, scarlet ibises noticed the geoglyph and Toki's song and began coming to the cafe.
In this way, "Japari Cafe" became well-known and began to be used as a resting place for many Friends.
Alpaca in the App Version
"Hey, hello there. It's about time for a haircut. My hair keeps growing. That's why I often trim it myself. Leave the hair styling to me."
Wow! In the app version, she's an androgynous, cool character. The fact that her hair grows is a characteristic of the long, silky alpaca Suri. And what's more, her ability to change direction is impressive!
By the way, her in-game rarity is 4.
Summary
That concludes our introduction to the "Kemono Friends" character, "Alpaca Suri"!
With her accent and gentle personality, she's a charming character with many charms.
We look forward to seeing more of his future success!
