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 Mountain Tapir is a species of tapir native to the cloud forests and páramo in the north Andean Mountains. As opposed to the other tapir species it has a thick woolly fur. Their fur is dark brown or black with a little lighter brown fur on the head and white around the mouth. They can be up to 1.80 meters long and 1 meter high at the shoulders and weigh up to 250 kilograms.
Mountain Tapirs are herbivores, eating mainly leaves, fruit and ferns. They are a keystone species in northern South America as they disperse the seeds of many plants. Thanks to their inefficient digestion, plenty of nutrients are still available to the seeds.
Kemono Friends' Mountain Tapir appeared in the Nexon Game and, after being redesigned, in Kemono Friends 3. She has troubles properly conveying what she is trying to say. She has long, black hair with brown and white markings on the sidebangs. She has large animal ears and a short tail. She wears a black sweater, skirt, pantyhose and shoes with a white tip.
