Big adventures don't always begin in big places.

Sometimes...

They start at Donut Pond.

Keroppi is Sanrio's energetic little frog whose boundless curiosity and cheerful personality have been delighting fans since 1988. Living with his family in the wonderfully named Donut Pond, Keroppi loves exploring, playing games, swimming, and discovering something new every chance he gets. His enthusiasm for life makes every day feel like the start of another adventure.

He's the kind of friend who's already outside waiting before you've even tied your shoes.

What makes Keroppi so lovable is his adventurous spirit. He's athletic, optimistic, and always eager to help others, but he's just as happy organizing a friendly competition or heading off to see what's around the next bend. Whether he's spending time with his friends or trying something completely new, Keroppi approaches life with curiosity instead of fear.

He's proof that optimism can be contagious.

Visually, Keroppi is one of Sanrio's most recognizable characters. His bright green body, oversized eyes, striped shirt, and ever-present smile have made him a favorite for decades. His simple, expressive design perfectly captures his playful personality, making him instantly recognizable whether he's appearing on stationery, plush toys, apparel, or collectibles.
