Without much notice, the phenomenon of Keroro Gunson (Sgt. Frog) has already seeped into the US of A. In the highly successful NBC serie “Heroes“, there is actually a short scene where Keroro had made a brief appearance. When the character Hiro Nakamura (play by Masi Ohka) first appears in his office, you can clearly see that there is a Keroro figure right in front of his monitor, next to a Godzilla figure. Besides putting a bunch of Asians on a floor packed with cubicals, flashing Keroro and Godzilla in a frame just proves to be the thing that solidifies the show’s attempt to convey “Japaneseness”. In any case, Keroro would be proud standing next to the iconic Godzilla! ^_^
