Damekko Doubutsu (だめっこどうぶつ?)(Useless Animals) is a comedy anime that features characters that wear kemonomimi costumes. Each character in the anime does not live up to the standards of their species. The characters behave differently to the stereotypes. The main character Uruno is a wolf who has the personality of a shy rabbit, meanwhile Usahara, a rabbit, acts like a wolf.

[edit] Characters

[edit] Uruno

Uruno is a wolf sent to live in the forest with the other “useless” animals. He is shy, cowardly, and passive - everything the stereotypical wolf isn’t. He has a crush on the cute little Chiiko-chan, hoping that even though he’s useless, he will win her heart someday.

[edit] Usahara

Usahara is an aggressive, bad-tempered rabbit who smokes. He often gets annoyed at Uruno and kicks him into the sky, but in reality, it seems he does care for him, as shown in episode 26.

[edit] Chiiko

Chiiko is a little clumsy cheetah girl who Uruno has a huge crush on. She is clueless, bad at running (she always trips) and hunting, but is very cute. She is also a member of the Female Feline Club, along with Kuron, Rinku, and Piyu.

[edit] Unihiko

Unihiko, the Master of the Forest, is a devilish unicorn who enjoys drinking sake and eating squid, and is the fourth character introduced. He often tricks Uruno and Usahara. He is Peganosuke's twin brother.

[edit] Peganosuke

Peganosuke is Unihiko's twin brother, who works delivering packages. He is very shy and timid, but quickly befriends Uruno, due to their shared uselessness. He takes Uruno for flights, once Uruno helps him to realise that he should enjoy life and see things never seen before.

[edit] Kumane

Kumane is a traveling saleswoman, a bear. She is outgoing and friendly, often sharing leftover goods with her companions and shares a deep bond with Usahara, being his good friend while also his rival in combat.
