[For Kids] Trivia Quiz & Fun Facts About Crayon Shin-chan

Musae

The name of Misae Nohara’s younger sister is Musae. She once aspired to be a photographer, but due to certain circumstances she lost her job and was left penniless, even ending up staying with the Nohara family for a time. She has been involved in the Nohara family’s story for a long time. Unlike Misae, she’s rather sloppy, which makes her a character with a very distinctive personality.

Shiro

The dog kept by the Nohara family is named Shiro. Shiro is an important member of Shin-chan’s family, and as his running gag “cotton candy” suggests, he’s characterized by his fluffy white fur. He has a calm and clever personality, but it’s also fun to see how he sometimes goes along with Shin-chan’s pranks.

Collecting unusually shaped stones

Bō-chan’s hobby is “collecting unusually shaped stones,” such as oddly shaped or rare rocks he finds on the street. In the scene where he shows his collection to his friends, he passionately explains what each stone is like, conveying how devoted he is to this hobby.

rabbit

The scene where Nene-chan beats up the rabbit... it’s a bit chilling to watch, but I suppose her irritation reaches a peak and she can’t help acting that way. The cause is probably Nene-chan’s mom. Nene-chan’s mom behaves the same way, after all. That said, considering all the trouble Shin-chan causes, I have to admit she’s quite patient...

rice ball

Masao-kun is often called by his name by Shin-chan and the others, but he is sometimes given the nickname “Onigiri.” The nickname comes from his distinctive hairstyle and his round, rice-ball-like face. It’s often used in unfortunate situations or when he’s behaving badly, so scenes where this nickname is used can be seen as Masao-kun’s highlight moments as well.

real pretend play

One of Nene-chan’s favorite games is portrayed as “realistic house play.” Unlike ordinary make-believe, the key is that the setup is realistic; Shin-chan and his friends act out complicated family circumstances to the point that the adults watching are bewildered. This time, it’s also worth paying attention to what kind of situation they’re performing.

Gō Gōtarō

Action Kamen, depicted as a tokusatsu work within the story, has the real name Gō Gōtarō. This name is both his identity within the Action Kamen narrative and the name of the actor who plays him. Precisely because they share the same name, it makes you curious about the differences in personality and behavior between Gō Gōtarō as portrayed in the show and Gō Gōtarō as an actor, doesn’t it?
