What is Kemono Friends?
|
Kemono Friends, also known as KemoFure, is a Japanese multimedia franchise created by Mine Yoshizaki, that focuses on the adventures of anthropomorphized animal girls known simply as Friends. It began as a 2015 mobile game but has expanded into a manga, stage play and wildly successful 2017 anime with multiple new projects planned for the future. While it is a relatively new IP, the franchise has succeeded in making a name for itself on its path to becoming a "series that will last 100 years".
The universe of Kemono Friends, contrary to its innocent appearance, is expansive and complex. It boasts a cast of over 400 characters as well as an intricate and puzzling backstory. What's more, much of the series's media has never seen an official release outside of its native Japan. Our wiki, Japari Library, exists as a resource for the series's English-speaking fanbase. It features translations, detailed analyses of the franchise's lore, and information on Friends and the real creatures from which they came.

Friend of the Week

The Aurochs was once the largest animal in Europe, being over 1.80 meters at the shoulder and weighing a ton. They have been domesticated twice, once leading to the Indian Zebu cattle and once leading to European Cattle. They inhabited open grassland and forest. They preferred wetter areas than the modern cattle. They were once found all over Europe, Northern Africa all the way to Korea. They went extinct due to a combination of being bred out of existence and habitat loss, less so than because of hunting.*
Many historic first-hand accounts described the animal in detail, such as none other than Gaius Julius Caesar in his books about the Gallic Wars. Many cave paintings and paintings by medieval artists depict them, some coat of arms are said to feature them as well.
Kemono Friends' Aurochs first appeared in the Nexon Game, where she seems to be rather hot-blooded. While her friends are dwindling, she is happy other friends are inhabiting her spirit. Apparently she often gets confused with American Bison and doesn't understand why.
