My kids are going bug nutty for stickers of this cartoon character. Even older kids. What is it? Why do the kids like it?

I think his name is "Karowae." Actually, the green one, the main one, is Karowae. The other colored ones have different names.

They are aliens. They interact with humans. You can buy their merchandise all over the place. It's a cartoon and comic book. That's about it.

I would beat my children with a wooden paddle for even mentioning something like that.

One of my students gave me the monkey (sticker) one -

His name is Tororo...

(Which is actually the name for a Japanese cold noodle dish - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioscorea_opposita )

Well, just look at the eyes. Kids are obviously hypnotized into a mania that gets them to buy products dealing with these--what was it, aliens?.
Alien Zombie Ducks, a cross between Sailor Moon and Pororo. Are they comical or sinister? Makes a difference!

I'll stick with my old black-and-white pre-anime episodes of Astro Boy. What a hero!

My kids said these stickers come in some bread you buy... which might explain why they're everywhere...
