Guano (Kappa Mikey)

Guano is a character on the Nicktoons Network series Kappa Mikey.

Profile

Guano is the director, writer, actor, and probably a creator of "LilyMu" (though Phantom of the Soundstage might imply otherwise). He is a small, furry, purple, Pikachu-like creature, with a blue gem embedded into his stomach, and the only line he gives himself on "LilyMu" is his own name, another reference to Pokémon. He takes this job seriously, and in every episode, he seems to stop the "LilyMu" show by yelling "CUT!" when something goes wrong, such as Mikey messing up or heavy objects falling on Gonard, or both (occasionally, it is Ozu who yells cut at the beginning of an episode, or another character, such as Socky). His name comes from a Spanish word for "Manure" (it refers specifically to manure obtained from birds or bats), possibly in reference to his smell, which is a running joke in the series. Unlike his fellow cast mates, he isn't very fond of the celebrity life style and he would rather have people not even know he exists then have numerous fans admire him. He is rarely jealous of anything, yet seems to hold a personal vendetta against bigger, furry animals, and anyone who gets special treatment from Ozu.

Much of Guano's life isn't known, even to the point that no one on the show even knows how he looks like under his costume or if he even IS in a costume (which based on recent episodes is not likely).Though in " A Christmas Mikey" it is revealed that it is a costume, when he pulled down his zipper.All that is known is that he has an apartment in LilyMu Towers along with his cast mates. Before "LilyMu", he went to film school, and used to work in various odd jobs, including appearing in shampoo commercials, mining underground, and even in a kick line, all of which he regrets ever doing. These mysteries make Guano one of the biggest enigmas in the series.

In the episode "The Masked Tanuki" Guano is revealed have a super hero alter ego known as the Masked Tanuki, who bravely saves the city from danger every day, and in the same episode his apartment is shown for the first time, which houses his super hero lair and a small dungeon.

In "The Wizard of Ozu", Guano plays the part of the Cowardly Lion.

Personality

Guano is extremely emotional, frequently crying or cheering and jumping around, and he also suffers from a large number of phobias and fears the simplest and most non-scary of things. Because he takes on so many positions in his job, he must also be a strict leader, and sometimes parent and carries it out as best he can amidst his own personal problems.

Relationships With Other Characters

Guano sees Ozu, and thus, Yesman, as an intimidating, scary boss- the only character on the show he answers to. However, he gets along fine with the other cast members. He hasn't had any official love interest in the course of the series, but in "Seven LilyMu" he forms a crush on Shino, one of the older children who looks after her younger brother in a playground. She admits that before meeting him in person, she had mistaken him for a puppet.

Karaoke Character Song

In the hour-long special, "Kappa Karaoke", the song that epitomizes Guano is "Nothing Rhymes With Purple", where Guano explains how hard it is to be him, performed in the style of alternative rock and hard rock.
