nihongo|Chief Medic Pururu|プルル看護長|Pururu Kangochō is a fictional character from the anime and manga series "Sgt. Frog".

Overview

Pururu appears in the series as the most recent and only female member of the Garuru Platoon, a chief medic and expert nurse, and a childhood friend to Sergeant Keroro, Corporal Giroro, and Lance Corporal Dororo. She has an energetic, down-to-earth, and somewhat strict and stubborn personality, but is also nonviolent and mature, unlike most of the major characters of the series. Pururu's appearance consists of violet skin, a pink cap with a yellow-and-pink heart symbol, and large purple eyes. When she was a young child, the cap was flat and had a light pink flower on it, but is now pointed up on both sides, giving a catgirl-ear-impression to her head (she is sometimes shown with a violet afro wig). Her tadpole appearance might make you think she's as young as Tamama or Tororo, but it seems like this is the way Mine Yoshizaki draws adult females. Her cute looks and charming demeanor makes anyone to feel attached to her, notably the young Giroro and the current Keroro. Pururu also has a very mothering (some might call it bossy) personality. She is not above throwing her weight around to get what she wants, especially when the Keroro and Garuru platoons are involved.

Childhood

Pururu was part of Keroro's friendship alliance alongside Giroro and Zeroro. They hung out in an underground club house. They lived under the wisdom of their elder friend Joriri who helped them fight back against bullies and other conflicts. She appeared in the short for named "Chibi Kero: Secret of the Kero Ball", in which she and the rest of the alliance are trapped within a prototype Kero Ball until freed by Kururu.

History

She graduated from the Keron Military Academy, alongside her childhood friends under the rank of nurse, and later chief medic. However, in the manga it's said that she first worked for a civilian corporation before she joined the Keron Forces, inspired by her three childhood friends. [Sgt. Frog Chapter 123] During the Garuru Platoon's promotions, she joined them with the first mission of investigating the stolen items desired by the Clone Keroro Platoon. She is currently promoted to the task of giving the Keronians medical check-ups and injections.

Relationships

Pururu was the childhood friend of Keroro, Giroro, and Zeroro (currently Dororo). At the time, Giroro had a crush on Pururu until growing out of it. After meeting a more mature and beautiful Pururu, Keroro develops an amorous crush for her, causing a rivalry between her and Angol Mois, another one of Keroro's hopeful lovers. She is currently partnered with Chiruyo Tsukigami.

Abilities

Pururu uses large syringes as both weapons and medical tools. For combat purposes, the syringes can be used for close range offense and can discharge energy beams. For medical purposes, it simply records the health of those it injects. An after effect fills those injected with slight ecstacy. She also has access to the ability to take on a human form, as revealed in episode 180. Pururu is also one of the few characters to effectively control Kururu.

Weakness

Her trauma switch turns on when someone calls her Oba-chan. (Oba-chan can either mean auntie, in an affectionate way, or old lady... in a not so affectionate way)
