Honyaku Gafujubun

Character
Gafujubun is based on the "Over-the-top-fanboy." Bart van Oosterhout chose anime to be his fandom, since his sister was getting into it. Gafujubun's anime fandom is so extreme, he legally changed his name into the Japanese "Honyaku Gafunjubun." He quotes various anime and manga, and peppers his speach with Japanese words. Like his Text Bubble "待った (Matta!)" which means "Hold it!"

Appearance
Gafujubun dyes his (actually blonde) hair black to seem more Japanese, and wears a sweatshirt over a yellow t-shirt. In the sprites for the online game, he is not as fat as he is in the comics. This wasn't done on purpose, though.

Most of the time he is seen with a manga in his hand. The book appears to be a hard-cover.

Name

 * His alias: Honyaku Gafujubun comes from "翻訳が不十分," (Hon'yaku ga fujūbun) a poor Japanese translation for “Poorly Translated.” This is a joke, since he acts like he’s Japanese, but isn’t.


 * Jannes Êppas is a play on “Je ne sais pas,” which means “I don’t know,” in French.
