	Mr. DOB (manga-like character)

Note: Whimsical, sharp-toothed manga-like character developed by artist Takashi Murakami; the character's name is a contraction of the Japanese slang expression "dobojite," or "why?" and it is literally spelled out in his facial features and appendages, ensuring we recognize him in spite of his ever-changing appearance.
