Shinnosuke Nohara
Shin chan

Shinnosuke Nohara is the main character in the manga/anime Crayon Shin-chan.

Description[]

Shinnosuke is based on the character Shinnosuke Nikaido of another series by Yoshito Usui, Darakuya Store Monogatari. He is a naughty child around which the series is made. He balks at washing dishes and taking out the dog. What is most interesting, though not as far-out as the other differences, is that he rarely screams, rarely cries or throws tantrums, and is often punished. His works are always done by his puppy dog eyes. He generally pulls his pants down when happy and dances while singing "Buri! Buri!" (ケツだけ星人, "Ass Dance! Ass Dance!" in the English Funimation dub and "Hula Hula" in the Vitello and Phuuz dubs). He also likes to do the elephant dance (ゾーさん zō-san) which consists of that an elephant is drawn around the penis, which acts like a trumpet. He always runs to the nearest TV at 5 PM to see Action Mask and, when he can't go inside his house he will go at Masao's house. He is a member of the Kasukabe Defence Force. He has his own imaginary character called Buriburizaemon.

He is a very good singer and a pretty good baseball and football player. He learned photography from his aunt Musae. Sometimes he changes the actual words, making it very funny. For example, promise becomes promotion etc. He tends to not act like a child when he sighs "Gokuraku, gokuraku" ('Paradise, Paradise'-- a stereotypical utterance while in a hot bath or spring) at a hot spring or complains about "kids these days" as though he weren't a kid himself. His friends often have to remind him of that.

His misuse of language is also typical. Shin-chan calls out "Itte rasshai!" ('See you soon!'--said to those leaving.) when he comes home from school and uses mixed-up greetings like okonban gozaimasu ("okonban gozaimasu", "A combo of 'good morning' and 'good night'.). His written language is full of misspellings and strangely-written characters, and when he overhears someone older saying something that sounds pretty sophisticated, he'll try to repeat it, but fails miserably, switching around syllables and words to no end. He also uses ora (nonstandard even for adults) ("ora", "A corruption of the tough-guy first person pronoun 'ore') to refer to himself when most five-year-old boys use boku, and prefers hoi ("hoi", "Another corruption, this time of 'hai', or 'yes') to hai.
