Description
Torippii Sorano, also known as Flappie in English adaptations, serves as a central character in the Shimajiro franchise. He appears as a pastel green parrot featuring distinctive red, yellow, and cyan feathers at his occiput and lower back, complemented by a yellow beak and orange talons. A red bow with a thin white stripe consistently adorns his neck. His attire evolved across series iterations, transitioning from a dark blue vest to a yellow shirt paired with a purple jacket and white straps. In the most recent series, he wears a dark blue shirt with white stripes and grey pants, switching to a striped white shirt and dark blue pants for summer scenes, occasionally accessorized with a white sailor cap or orange cap.
He resides with his parents, his feisty grandmother, and as the eldest of four siblings, possesses the largest family among the main characters. Torippii attends Challenge Kindergarten alongside friends including Shimajiro Shimano, whom he considers his most important friend. He consistently demonstrates support and friendliness towards Shimajiro and maintains close bonds with Mimirin Midorihara, Ramurin Makiba, and Nyakkii Momoyama.
His personality radiates whimsy and quirkiness, marked by a talkative, goofball nature. Torippii is prone to chatter and indecision in critical moments, compounded by a poor sense of direction. Despite aspirations to be a singer and a love for singing, he remains notably tone-deaf. He can fly like a real bird and understand non-anthropomorphic birds. His interests encompass airplanes, stylish appearances, and takoyaki, his favorite food. He dislikes bell peppers and quiet environments, harboring a pronounced fear of ghosts and ghost stories.
The name "Sorano" (空野) combines "sora" (sky) and "no" (field), while "Torippii" (とりっぴい) derives from "tori" (bird) and "pi" (mimicking a bird's chirp). His birthday is January 1 at 7:00 AM, coinciding with New Year's Day and shared with the character Monta. His blood type is O.
