==Character==
Dororo is a lance corporal of the [[Keroro Platoon]]. After getting caught in a bear trap on [[Pekopon]], he was rescued by [[Koyuki Azumaya]] (with the help of [[Zeroyasha]] in the anime). Wishing to follow the way of the ninja, Zeroro changed his name to '''Dororo''', after the forest where he was found. He spends most of his time training, meditating, reading, doing nature-related works, or spying on the actions of his Platoon (usually through the ceiling) and others (usually by hanging upside down from tree limbs). Dororo is often forgotten by the rest of Keroro Platoon, causing his '''trauma switch''' to turn on which is actually his biggest fear (see Episode 123), which usually leads to him sitting in a corner to cry, quietly reeling off many bad experiences (that Keroro did) to himself (only in the anime). The few people that don't forget him as much are Pururu, his family, Zoruru, Koyuki and some minor characters.

Dororo is often forgotten by the rest of Keroro Platoon, causing his 'trauma switch' to turn on (his biggest fear [see Episode 123]). This usually leads to him sitting in a corner to cry, quietly reeling off many bad experiences to himself. This only occurs in the anime.
Dororo will not participate in plans that are potentially harmful to people's feelings or nature. He desires to bring peace to Pekopon. He scolded his brother because he thought his brother broke his music box (which was actually Keroro's fault).
 
   
  +
There are two people that do not regularly forget about Dororo: Koyuki, one of his best friends, and (ironically) Zoruru, the psychopathic maniac who has fixated on Dororo and vowed to kill him.
Even with all he has gone through, Dororo is a very kind, generous, and respectful person.

[[File:6ef5v7.jpg|thumb|Dragon Dororo]] During the fourth movie, [[Shion]] captured Dororo and turned him into a dragon. He appeared as a blue dragon with jagged scars on his wings a larger, warped shuriken symbol on his chest, and keeps his ninja mask over his mouth. He still retains his katana (although much longer), which he uses to fire slashes of energy, cut through tough material, and shield others from harm.

As a child, Zeroro's hobby was gardening, which he carried into adulthood.
   
  +
Young Zeroro was a demure, weak, and clingy child who seemed almost incapable of an independent thought, as he always leeched off of Keroro and Giroro. He did not like to do things that got him in trouble but he did them anyway, as he was not yet stubborn and possessing strict morals like he has later.
Young Zeroro still carried his kindness. However, being an assassin, Zeroro had less difficulty with stealth. His near death experiences in his childhood left him traumatized and brought him to care for Pekopon. Frequently being unnoticed, Dororo has developed sensitive touches. Young Zeroro was not fully a ninja until he grew older.
 
   
Dororo was a member of a large, wealthy family. He was part of Keroro and [[Giroro]]'s friendship (that [[Pururu]] later joined). There, he was often exploited by the group, mainly Keroro. Throughout their friendship, Keroro has permanently traumatized him and broke Zeroro's beloved music box. (which led to Zeroro getting mad and even beating up his little brother, thinking it was him who broke it, or in the Funimation dub, selling him to space pirates.)

Dororo was a member of a large, wealthy family. He was friends with Keroro and Giroro, and, later on, Pururu. He was often exploited by the group, mainly Keroro. Throughout their friendship, Keroro has used Dororo for his own personal gain and been consistently insensitive to Dororo's feelings. Despite this, they have remained being close friends.
   
 
==History==
 
==History==
Zeroro graduated from the Keron Military Academy under the rank of Lance Corporal. He was assigned as the assassin of the [[Keroro Platoon]] alongside [[Keroro]], [[Giroro]], [[Tamama]] and [[Kururu]]. They were given the mission to conquer [[Pekopon]]. Although, in the manga, he used to be a private second class.

Zeroro graduated from the Keron Military Academy under the rank of lance corporal. He worked as a part of Jirara's assassin corp in the anime. Jirara stated that he was not cold enough for assassin, and "does not know the true darkness of assassin corp".
   
  +
He was later assigned as a part of the [[Keroro Platoon]] alongside [[Giroro]], [[Tamama]] and [[Kururu]]. They were given the mission to conquer [[Pekopon]].
Caught in a bear trap on Pekopon, Zeroro expected his inevitable, lonely death until he was saved and adopted by the kunoichi [[Koyuki Azumaya]] who trained him the way of the ninja. In the anime, [[Zeroyasha]], Koyuki's friend dog, found him in the trap. Zeroro renames himself Dororo after the forest he was rescued in, and rejoins the Keroro Platoon. His respect for Koyuki saving his life changed his mindset about invading and instead made him feel as if Pekopon should be respected as any other planet.

When the platoon landed on Pekopon and were scattered, he somehow managed to get himself caught in a bear trap. He promptly accepted his inevitable, lonely death until he was saved and taken to the ninja village by the kunoichi [[Koyuki Azumaya]], where he learned the way of the ninja. In the anime, [[Zeroyasha]], Koyuki's friend dog, found him in the trap.

Their friendship brought them to be blood brothers (as stated by Keroro). Out of the two, Giroro was the nicest to him. Keroro always took advantage of Zeroro, even as adults. When he was younger, Zeroro admired Keroro when he was hardworking (acording to the manga) but is disapointed at how lazy he is now. As adults, they keep their friendship in regard, but gets upset when the platoon forgets about him.[[File:Dororo_looking_Cute.png|thumb|Dororo giggling after removing his mask and showing the platoon what he looks like.]]

* [[Koyuki Azumaya]] - When Zeroro arrived on Pekopon, he got caught in a bear trap, and was awaiting his lonely death. He was saved by Koyuki (as well as [[Zeroyasha]] in the anime). Then Koyuki became Zeroro's partner. They stuck together during banishment (Zeroro at the time had changed his name to Dororo), and currently live together neighbor the Hinata's (the anime changed it to a small house in the woods near the [[Nishizawa Tower]]). Dororo and Koyuki hold a platonic father-daughter relationship.
   
  +
* [[Kururu]] - No evidence for an actual friendship, Dororo and Kururu appear to simply be workplace proximity associates. They both admire each other's ability but disagree on values.
* [[Koyuki Azumaya|Koyuki]] - When Zeroro arrived on Pekopon, he got caught in a bear trap, and was awaiting his lonely death. He was saved by Koyuki (as well as [[Zeroyasha]] in the anime) and was taught Ninja arts by her. The two bonded during these teachings and Koyuki became Zeroro's partner. They stuck together during banishment (Zeroro at the time had changed his name to Dororo), and currently live together in a small house in the woods near the [[Nishizawa Tower]] (By the Hinata residence in the manga). Dororo and Koyuki hold a father-daughter relationship, making their friendship all the more stronger.
 
  +
* [[Kururu]] - Not distinguishing a direct friendship, Dororo and Kururu appear as close acquaintances and good partners. Besides Kururu mostly being instructed by Keroro to make a variety of different technology to help with Dororo's frequent, "Trauma Switches", not much can be mentioned. (ep. 238B and 351A). Kururu also enjoys taunting him and calling him "stubborn" or "annoying" each time he hits his depressing state, seeing how it shows both of their inner weaknesses. (ep. 349A)
 
* [[Tamama]] - Tamama admires Dororo's strength and wisdom, creating a rolemodel-type of situation for the both. Dororo wishes the best for Tamama and hopes he'll grow up to be an even stronger soldier than he is now.

* [[Fuyuki]] - Dororo considers Fuyuki as a kind person, hopes him will stay good-hearted, and had saved him from danger more than once.
* [[Natsumi Hinata]] - Dororo's friendship with Natsumi, although not seen as much, is there. Dororo has saved Natsumi from invasion plans more than once, and Natsumi also cooks meals to thank Dororo, meaning she sees Dororo in a different light, than the other Keronians. Dororo states that despite being a bit violent, she has a kind heart. Natsumi is also the only one to apologize openly to Dororo, such as when she almost beat him up when his colors were switched with Keroro's (episode 206).
 
  +
* [[Mutsumi Hojo]] - Dororo admires Mutsumi's free spirit. In the manga, they often play shogi on rooftop and cooperate in battles successfully.

Dororo (ドロロ), formerly known as Zeroro (ゼロロ), is a main character in the anime and manga series Keroro Gunso. He is of the rank Lance Corporal (兵長 Heichō)[RANKS] and he is a part of the Keroro Platoon. Although he used to be one of the best assassins in the Keron Army, he went native upon arrival on Pekopon and chose to become a ninja and protector of the planet.

Character

Dororo spends most of his time training, meditating, reading, doing nature-related works, or spying on the actions of his Platoon and others. Dororo is often forgotten by the rest of Keroro Platoon, causing his 'trauma switch' to turn on (his biggest fear [see Episode 123]). This usually leads to him sitting in a corner to cry, quietly reeling off many bad experiences to himself. This only occurs in the anime.

There are two people that do not regularly forget about Dororo: Koyuki, one of his best friends, and (ironically) Zoruru, the psychopathic maniac who has fixated on Dororo and vowed to kill him.

Dororo will not participate in plans that are potentially harmful to people's feelings or nature. He is extremely stubborn about it, as he desires to bring peace to Pekopon.

Even for all he has gone through, Dororo is a very kind, generous, and respectful person.

Appearance

Dororo symbol

Shuriken, Dororo's symbol

Dororo is a light blue Keronian. Throughout his childhood, he wore a medical mask, possibly due to a weak immune system. Before, he wore a white, military uniform-style hat like the other Keronians; after becoming a ninja he began wearing a white cap with shrouds in place of flaps.

The symbol on his forehead is a red, four pronged shuriken while on his chest is the same symbol but yellow. When he was an assassin, he wore a gas mask. As a ninja, Dororo dons a ninja mask and sheath for his Katana strapped to his back. Dororo's afro is light pink. Dororo is 55.5 centimeters tall (1'8 feet).

Childhood

For more information see Chibi Dororo/Zeroro

As a child, Zeroro's hobby was gardening, which he carried into adulthood.

Young Zeroro was a demure, weak, and clingy child who seemed almost incapable of an independent thought, as he always leeched off of Keroro and Giroro. He did not like to do things that got him in trouble but he did them anyway, as he was not yet stubborn and possessing strict morals like he has later.

Dororo was a member of a large, wealthy family. He was friends with Keroro and Giroro, and, later on, Pururu. He was often exploited by the group, mainly Keroro. Throughout their friendship, Keroro has used Dororo for his own personal gain and been consistently insensitive to Dororo's feelings. Despite this, they have remained being close friends.

History

Zeroro graduated from the Keron Military Academy under the rank of lance corporal. He worked as a part of Jirara's assassin corp in the anime. Jirara stated that he was not cold enough for assassin, and "does not know the true darkness of assassin corp".

He was later assigned as a part of the Keroro Platoon alongside Giroro, Tamama and Kururu. They were given the mission to conquer Pekopon.

When the platoon landed on Pekopon and were scattered, he somehow managed to get himself caught in a bear trap. He promptly accepted his inevitable, lonely death until he was saved and taken to the ninja village by the kunoichi Koyuki Azumaya, where he learned the way of the ninja. In the anime, Zeroyasha, Koyuki's friend dog, found him in the trap.

Zeroro renamed himself Dororo after the forest he was rescued in, and rejoined the Keroro Platoon. His respect for Koyuki saving his life changed his mindset about invading and instead made him feel as if Pekopon should be respected as any other planet.

Relationships

When these two talk, my heart swellls
  • Keroro, Giroro and Pururu - As a child, Zeroro, Keroro, and Giroro were friends. Their friendship brought them to be blood brothers (as stated by Keroro). Out of the two, Giroro was the nicest to him. Keroro took advantage of Zeroro. When he was younger, Zeroro admired Keroro when he was hardworking (according to the manga) but is disappointed at how lazy he is now. As adults, they keep their friendship in regard, but Dororo gets upset when the platoon forgets about him.
    My son
  • Koyuki Azumaya - When Zeroro arrived on Pekopon, he got caught in a bear trap, and was awaiting his lonely death. He was saved by Koyuki (as well as Zeroyasha in the anime). Then Koyuki became Zeroro's partner. They stuck together during banishment (Zeroro at the time had changed his name to Dororo), and currently live together neighbor the Hinata's (the anime changed it to a small house in the woods near the Nishizawa Tower). Dororo and Koyuki hold a platonic father-daughter relationship.
  • Kururu - No evidence for an actual friendship, Dororo and Kururu appear to simply be workplace proximity associates. They both admire each other's ability but disagree on values.
  • Tamama - Tamama admires Dororo's strength and wisdom, and they hold a rolemodel-type relationship. Dororo wishes the best for Tamama and hopes he will grow up to be a strong soilder.
  • Fuyuki - Dororo considers Fuyuki as a kind person, hopes him will stay good-hearted, and had saved him from danger more than once.
  • Mutsumi Hojo - Dororo admires Mutsumi's free spirit. In the manga, they often play shogi on rooftop and cooperate in battles successfully.

Speech

Dororo uses the archaic sentence-final particle "de gozaru", a form of 'desu'. Dororo refers to himself as sessha, is an archaic male form of "I", primarily used by samurai.

In general, Dororo uses 'humble' Japanese speech. Generally, one would only use this humble form when addressing superiors. Dororo takes this to the extreme and uses humble forms of speech in almost every sentence, regardless of who he is talking to.
