Description
Kero Midorikawa is a recurring character in the MegaMan NT Warrior anime, where she is known as Ribbita in the English version. Her Japanese name, Kero, is onomatopoeia for the croaking sound of a frog, which connects to her role as the operator of the NetNavi ToadMan.EXE. She works as a professional and energetic broadcaster for the DNN (Densan News Network) news station, often serving as a field reporter or the main announcer for major events and breaking news.
In terms of personality, Kero is a cheerful and enthusiastic young woman who approaches her reporting duties with a high level of energy. She consistently covers important happenings such as the N1 Grand Prix Net Battle tournament and the various crises caused by evil organizations. While she is usually professional, she has displayed a more impatient side on occasion. For instance, she once testily asked for the start time of the N1 Grand Prix, only to quickly switch back to a cheerful attitude upon realizing she was on air. Her primary motivation is tied to her career as a journalist, as she is dedicated to covering stories and delivering information to the public, whether it involves major Net Battles or human-interest segments like the weather.
Within the story of the anime, Kero does not typically take on a central role in the main plot. Instead, she functions as a recurring supporting character who provides commentary and narration for the audience. She is most prominent as the announcer for the N1 Grand Prix tournament, where she provides play-by-play coverage of the matches. One of her key working relationships is with Mr. Higsby, as the two of them frequently team up to commentate on events during the first seasons of the series. As a broadcaster for DNN, she is often present on the sidelines of major incidents, reporting live from the scene as the protagonists confront various threats.
Over the course of the franchise, Kero appears across multiple seasons, including MegaMan NT Warrior, Axess, Stream, Beast, and Beast+. Her role evolves slightly over time, shifting from primarily a tournament announcer to a general news reporter who handles a variety of stories. In later seasons like Rockman.EXE Beast+, she expands her duties to include weather reporting for the station. In terms of abilities, Kero is a capable NetOp who operates her NetNavi, ToadMan. While her skills are not the central focus of the story, she is able to send ToadMan into the cyber world to gather information or assist in battles, using Battle Chips such as Aqua Tower and Mini Boomer.
