badtz maru

Badtz-Maru is a penguin with a simple yet striking design that reflects his rebellious personality. His appearance includes the following characteristics:

Main color: Its body is mostly black, with a white belly that contrasts perfectly and highlights its design.

Head: It has a large head in proportion to its body, with pointed spikes on top that look like messy or "disheveled" feathers.

Face: Their eyes are large, white and oval, with a constant look of disdain or boredom, giving them a sarcastic or mischievous expression.

Beak: It has a small yellow beak, typical of a penguin, which adds a touch of tenderness despite its attitude.

Legs: Its feet are also yellow and shaped like simple fins, completing its penguin-inspired design.

Badtz-Maru's design is minimalist yet iconic, with a rebellious and comical air that sets him apart from other Hello Kitty characters. His facial expression is his most memorable feature, as he always seems to be judging or planning something funny (or troublesome).

Badtz-Maru (バッドばつ丸, Baddo Batsu Maru), a male penguin with spiky hair, is one of the many characters produced by the Japanese company Sanrio and created by Hisato Inoue in 1993. Unlike the more popular Hello Kitty, he has attitude and is one of the few characters to be marketed to all genders. He was born on April 1 in Oahu, Hawaii. Badtz-Maru has many different poses and facial expressions, but is classically recognized by lowering one eye and sticking out his tongue.

Although he seems to be perpetually stuck in the first grade, he dreams of becoming “the boss of everything” when he grows up. “He’s a bit selfish and tends to make fun of things by thinking silly things. This mischievous little penguin loves fighting for the wrong side. His hobby is collecting pictures of bad guys played by movie stars.” He enjoys expensive sushi in Ginza because it’s his favorite food.

Badtz-Maru has two best friends, who often accompany him: Pandaba, a female giant panda who always wears a short, frilly skirt, and Hana-Maru, a male white seal.
