"The popular Usao-kun all the way from Keyboardmania!
Now performance fees are a whole watermelon~
"
―Character Introduction[1]

Usao-Kun, also stylized as USAO-Kun, is one of the characters from pop'n music 8, and a crossover character and unofficial mascot from BEMANI's KEYBOARDMANIA series.

Character Design Information[]

It's Usao-kun
The position of the black eyes is very delicate
Looking back, I've redrawn it many times before getting to Usao-kun
Well well...

Although watermelon will appear a lot,
I think the watermelon dog's cute
Formerly, a certain program's "watermelon man" was seriously afraid
Sleeping with his head on a futon didn't rid of his habit of sleeping in a curled position
Watermelon has had a tremendous impact on my life

ちひろ

Fascinating melodies and popping rhythms from power bursts.

Usao-kun, is exploring the autumn festival.

Happy happy.

Appearance[]

Lite Pop[]

Usao-kun is an lavender anthropomorphic rabbit with a dazed expression and large black eyes, which Chihi notes was difficult to get on point. He dons a white T-shirt saying "I ♥ KM" and blue shorts.

Gamelan[]

Not much about Usao-kun's appearance has changed, aside from his red, white and black vest with a blue belt and shorts.
