Konpoko is Mami Sakura's pet dog in the anime ESPer Mami. Its exact breed is difficult to determine, as its unusual appearance can be mistaken for that of a raccoon dog, a fox, a cat, or a panda, a fact that deeply upsets Konpoko because it takes great pride in being a dog. The animal was found and taken in by Mami on a stormy night, and it was after this event that Mami's psychic powers began to surface, leading to speculation that Konpoko may be connected to the awakening or the activation of her abilities. Konpoko has a peculiar vocalization that sounds like fuyanfuyan and has a strong fondness for fried tofu. It is highly perceptive and often appears to understand human speech, which allows it to act as a confidant and a conversation partner for Mami. The dog can also prompt Mami's teleportation by leaping at her. Konpoko displays a wide range of emotions, including pride, hurt, excitement, and loyalty, and it becomes deeply offended whenever it is mistaken for another animal or when its name is mispronounced. Its relationships include a close bond with Mami, a gradually developed friendship with Mami's ally Kazuo Takahata after an awkward start, and a reciprocal affection from the neighbor's dog Mary. In certain episodes, Konpoko takes a central role in the story, most notably when Takahata explores the theory that it serves as the key trigger for Mami's psychic powers. Beyond this speculated influence, Konpoko does not exhibit any overt supernatural abilities of its own but functions as an emotionally expressive companion and a reliable support for Mami throughout her everyday life and her adventures.
