Dengakuman田楽マン is a fictional character in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. The name is connected to "Dengaku", a snack food consisting of grilled tofu dipped in miso on a stick, which is his favorite food.

Dengakuman is the "cute mascot character" of Bo-BoBo. At one time the little white guy was the head of the Z-Block, the most powerful of the Hair Hunting blocks. His major concerns in life are making people eat dengaku and making as many friends as possible. Though he gains friends, some of them ignore him. Bo-bobo and friends taught Dengakuman the true meaning of friendship and Dengakuman repaid them by saving their lives with Super Dengaku Punch in the the OVER arc. Soon he became their friend and joined the team.

His trademark line, "We'll make 'em eat grilled tofu dipped in miso on a stick!" is a pun much of the American demographic won't understand, but is still used in the English-language anime nonetheless. Dengakuman can be violent but often he is portrayed as being an extremely weak character. Dengakuman actually claims that he is a dog. He is five years old (35 in dog years, if he's a real dog). Dengakuman can fuse with Bo-bobo to create a magical blonde popstar named Denbochan; he becomes Super Denbochan when Bo-bobo is Super Bo-bobo.

[edit] Trivia

• Dengakuman is usually ignored by everyone whenever Torpedo Girl is around.
• First Line: We'll make him eat grilled tofu dipped in miso on a stick! (this quickly became his catchphrase when he was evil)
• The first thing he said other than the catchphrase was "Destroy them, destroy them all."
• He was once the best student of a class of stuffed bears (a side effect of Don Patch's Dumb Bell Ball attack).
• According to Beauty, Dengakuman and Gasser are the cutest male characters of the group.
• He bares a striking resemblance to a Chao from the Sonic The Hedgehog games.

• Female: Dengakuman also has a female form like the wiggin trio. He gains long eyelashes and lipstick. He became a bikini-wearing, red swirl makeup-wearing Giga Girl. (ironiclly, he was seen berating the Giga Girls and the end of the arc)
• Pet Dog: The result of the Bad Family Portrait gave Dengakuman a dog ears headband, making him the family pet.
