This is the first of two original Keronjin that I made in the past two days.

His name is Shubobo and he's a little red tadpole. I first decided that I wanted to make a red Keronjin so I started looking for names. "Shubo" is a Japanese sound effect for an igniting flame, so I went with that and designed him from there. He's pretty plain, but I did that purposefully since all of my other OC Keronjin have been so flashy (as you'll see in the one I submit after this). lol

It took me a long time trying to figure out a symbol for him. I didn't want to just make it a flame because that would be too easy. Instead, I searched online for symbols for a long time. I stumbled upon a Wikipedia page about Japanese map symbols and saw the fire station symbol. I went with that because it looks cool and it's not incredibly obvious like a flame would be.

His belly is not the usual white, but rather a slightly orange shade of white. Also, the "whites" of his eyes have a tinge of red. I did this so he wouldn't be too boring, I guess. It also is a little hint at his special ability.

He's looking down at his mouth because it's hot. Yes, of course Shubo-chan can breathe fire, but it burns his mouth when he does, so he doesn't like to do it. I tried to make smoke come out of his mouth... it didn't look right, though.

That's all there is to him. I hope you like him.
