TV Special
Description
Giroro is a red-skinned Keronian bearing a distinctive scar on the left side of his face and slanted eyes. He wears dark maroon headgear featuring a yellow skull symbol. Instead of a belly symbol, a diagonal belt with a rectangular buckle crosses his torso, concealing a photo of Natsumi Hinata. As a child, he lacked the facial scar and displayed skull symbols on both his hat and belly.
His personality is defined by strict military discipline as the Keron Army's corporal. He frequently acts as the platoon's de facto second-in-command, focusing on combat and leadership during crises. He exhibits a short temper, especially toward incompetence or mission negligence, and rigorously enforces military protocols. Underneath his aggression lies empathy, honor, and protectiveness, particularly toward humans. He harbors phobias of ghosts and sea cucumbers and cannot tolerate alcohol. He lives solitarily in a backyard tent, polishing weapons and caring for a pale-pink cat named Miss Furbottom, whom he rescued during a rainstorm.
Giroro's childhood involved rigorous military training, where he often rescued peers like Keroro and Dororo. He idolized his older brother, Garuru, addressing him affectionately as "Nii-chan." After formal enlistment, their relationship shifted to rivalry, though Giroro retains residual intimidation and respect. A past clash with Keroro resulted in his facial scar.
Arriving on Earth ("Pekopon"), Giroro initially set traps throughout the Hinata household but was effortlessly defeated by Natsumi. Her combat prowess impressed him, leading him to occupy the family's backyard. This encounter ignited his unrequited romantic feelings for her, which frequently compromise invasion duties—he abandons missions to protect her or sabotages plans endangering her. He perceives Mutsumi Saburo as a romantic rival.
A weapons specialist and guerrilla combatant, Giroro possesses exceptional marksmanship, close-combat skills, and expertise in dismantling firearms. His arsenal includes mechas and Gundam-inspired weaponry, notably signature Giroro Guided Missiles. Removing his belt renders him virtually powerless. Additional weaknesses include emotional vulnerability involving Natsumi and poor non-combat skills, like artistic tasks.
Across various media, Giroro undergoes multiple physical transformations:
- An accidental experiment split him into seven distinct personalities.
- He cross-dressed for missions, including a Juliet costume for a school play and a lady's outfit to sedate guards.
- Kururu's inventions altered him into states like liquid, a bomb, a puppy, and a minotaur-like creature.
- He adopted a human guise—a tall, blonde-haired man—to attend a ball with Natsumi.
- In collaborations like *Kemono Friends*, he assumed female human forms with shifting speech patterns.
- Movie narratives transformed him into a dragon and a Ronin-style warrior.
His role in *KeroZero Shuppatsu da yo! Zen'in Shūgou!* depicts him defending a Keron space station alongside Zeroro (Dororo) against an alien assault during the platoon's departure for Earth.
