Afro Ken is a Japanese character created by the San-X company, which also produces other anime-style characters like Kogepan. He is a dog sporting a rainbow-colored afro. He is innocent and blameless, and he is always in a good mood. Afro Ken is always willing to try new things. He is drawn to objects that resemble him. As he gets closer to these items, his hair changes to mimic their appearance. An Afro Ken Family Tree exists, featuring other dog characters with outrageous names, such as Techno Ken, Funky Ken, Lord Ken, Super Afro Ken, and Normal Ken. Unlike the others, Normal Ken does not have wild hair.
