Phew... here is my first Parappa OC! 😅✨

His name is Sokabu (双蕪)! And uhh... he is just Parappa's childhood friend and classmate from public school during the Parappa the Rapper anime timeline. What else? Don't ask me too much yet because I haven't really made any lore for him. (Just like some other characters in the franchise LOL. 🤣🤣)

So, how did I come up with his name? I used Google Translate. 😭 Forgive me, I don't speak or learn Japanese, so I just tried my best! The "So" (双) means two or twin, while "Kabu" (蕪) means turnip because... well, he's a turnip! If that wasn't obvious. 😂

And yes, this drawing shows him when he was younger, around Parappa's age during the anime timeline.

Huge thanks to @eiheih-makes-manyocs! They really inspired me to create an OC, and the brush I used also belongs to them, so please check them out! Also, thank you to @n1nj0 for suggesting this artist to me! (If you are wondering about my previous post asking for artists who can make reference sheets or replicate a certain art style, I ended up deleting it because I was getting a lot of bot messages offering commissions. What I meant was free requests, not commissions. Sorry for the confusion!) This is my first time trying to replicate Rodney's art style while using a different brush. I have been using the same brush since back then, so trying something new was pretty fun! 😁👍

Yes of course also i have read some of the lore thing of your oc and also i kinda like his personality

Here is the older version of Sokabu! 🫜😎

Before I explain more about him, feel free to ask any questions about Sokabu in the ask box! I would love to answer them if I can. 😄

So, here is some more lore about him:

Unlike his younger self, who was more shy and quiet, older Sokabu became more confident and somewhat... cocky. He has changed a lot as he grew up, but he is still the same Sokabu deep down.

He is also a big fan of Teriyaki Yoko's music, especially Rammy's guitar skills. He really admires her talent and dreams of becoming a musician someday. He is still deciding whether he wants to play the piano or guitar, but he hopes he can become as talented as her one day.

Even though he is older, he is not really much of a talker around older people. He usually spends more time with Parappa and his friend group.

I made a reference sheet for Sokabu! First time making a reference sheet… Kinda nervous… 😖🤣
