Kappa

So this week is my brother's birthday, and I asked him what he'd like for it, last year I sewed a Naruto plushie for him, I think he turned out pretty cute. This year my brother asked for a Kappa, so random and weird haha but it was fun to do research on it and sew it, I'll need to change many things on its design, to make it more to my brother's liking, but I think it looks cute this way too.

A Kappa is a Youkai, a Japanese spirit that lives in the rivers, he looks like a human boy, mixed with duck, turtle, fish and reptile characteristics. They can be very mischievous and play pranks on people, but they can also be very polite, and they love the human civilization and cucumbers, I sewed a small Kappamaki for him, it's a cucumber-filled sushi roll, one of my favorites too!
