Froggy
Froggy is a deuteragonist in the ENA series. He is a main character set to appear in Dream BBQ.
Appearance
Froggy is a masculine humanoid character. He wears a black frog suit with two large, bulging eyes and a white outline surrounding it. Froggy's body, including his face, is relatively human-like and resembles ukiyo-e, an art style used for traditional woodblock prints and paintings. His skin is completely white, and his face has high-contrast shading.
Froggy's outfit consists of a dark red necktie, a purple skirt, a gray loincloth, black shin wraps outlined in white, and green-beige getas.
Personality
Froggy acts as a comic relief character and a foil to Ena, similar to Moony's dynamic with Ena in Season 1. He is a highly blusterous and confident character with a loud, colorful, and larger-than-life personality. While having these qualities and also thinking highly of himself, he is not all that smart.[3][4]

Trivia
- Froggy was first revealed in the Dream BBQ game trailer.
- Froggy slightly resembles Brick Frog. Both characters are based on frogs and have similar white outlines on their bodies. Despite this, they are stated to be unrelated.
- Froggy appears to be a Season 2 parallel to Moony. Both have a similar name structure of a word having a "y" at the end, (In Froggy's case, it being "g and y") and are arrogant deuteragonists who accompany Ena in their respective seasons.
- Froggy's name was first revealed through the name of a piece of merchandise on Joelgc.com.
Cultural references and inspirations
- Froggy was stated on an ENA Day 2022 Twitch stream to be based on the character Gonta from the Japanese educational children's show Dekirukana. The character themself is a large anthropomorphic gopher played by an actor in costume. It was stated by Joel Guerra that he watched the show as a child, as it also aired in Latin American countries.
- Ena is also based on the show's other main character, Noppo. This is likely why Ena and Froggy are paired together.
- Coincidence or not, Froggy's attire and color scheme resemble that of Tsubakura Enraku from the Len'en Project game series.
- Froggy's personality appears to be inspired by comic relief characters in old Japanese detective/private eye dramas.[3][4]
