Dasonu Maso (ダソヌ☆マソ) is a character in Keroro Gunso. He impersonates Dance Man. He is voiced by Chō.
Character[]
He appears by falling from the sky in a glowing afro which shrinks to become his afro. Whenever the concert ticket of Dasonu Maso is torn, Dasonu Maso himself will be summoned. He can give off a beam from his eyes which causes anyone it touches to suddenly have an afro (sometimes forcing said subject to dance). His afro also seems to have the ability to safetly absorb projectiles (such as missiles) and then fire them right back at his enemies. The only way to damage him is to use scissors to cut his afro, absorb its rays through a ninja technique, sing better than him or or tell better jokes than him. Dasonu Maso is famous in space for his "Truthfully" jokes. An example is, "Truthfully, I won't die! But one day I will! That is me!" Strangely, all aliens find his jokes "funny", while Pekoponians don't even understand them, Apart from being a comedian and singer, he has also hosted some contests on Alien Street.
In fact, Keroro used dasonu maso jokes as a weapon against the Pekopenians, If a Dasonu maso tells too many jokes in front of them, the pekoponians are capable of becoming so discouraged that they lose vital energy.
In episode 218 he becomes the second leader of the Super Dalis, creating a stronger version of them to test the Keroro B that Kururu created.
Dasonu Maso has a little sister, Dasonu Marie, who is the only female of Dasonu Maso's species that is seen in the anime and who got her afro when she showed her brother that she could be just as funny as him.
Yamada-kun is a son of Dasonu Maso, and at the end of the episode he becomes identical to his father after having learned from Keroro his jokes, so one might think that Dasonu Maso is a species that when they grow older (through their efforts in wanting to be better comedians) they become identical to each other (similar to the Vipers).
Invasion attempt[]
In episode 88, Dasonu Maso tried to conquer Pekopon with the use of mechanized versions of himself to overwhelm Inner Tokyo. Concert tickets that fell from the sky, and once they are torn, Mecha Dasonu Masos will follow. They do the same acts done by the original. Then if the victim does not want to listen, they would be hit by an afro beam and become funky. Even the military might of the Nishizawa Peach Group could not stop the clones of Dasonu Maso. His plan would have been successful if not for the sudden appearance of Dance Man who helps the Keroro Platoon prepare MorePeachSummerSnow learn "true funk". Dasonu Maso gets fantastically beaten by More Peach Summer Snow (trained by Dance Man in the arts of girls' funk ) and leaves the scene.[1]
Trivia[]
- The character shares similarity with the Simpsons character Disco Stu since both are disco style dancers from the 70s/80s and their presence is not entirely desired.
- Even though the Pekoponians don't find her jokes funny at all, in episode 273-B Melody Honey is the only Pekoponian who has laughed at her jokes.
- Since his son Yamada has blue eyes, it is possible that he also has them, although it is not noticeable due to the orange color of his visor.
- In the video game Keroro M is a Mini boss helping the Super Dalis transforming them into Super Dasos with his afro ray that strengthens them while slowing down the keronians.
