Kagege (カゲゲ) is the assassin of the Shurara Corps, appearing in Keroro Land and Keroro Gunso. He is the leader of the Kagege Platoon in Anokoro Keroro Gunso.
Character[]
Kagege is the last member that faces off with the Keroro Platoon before they get to Shurara. He initially seems intimidating but has a rather queer entrance and voice. Still, he is acknowledged as a fellow assassin by Dororo: one who once got close to his squad's leader Jirara, and he harbors unique shadow powers which caught the platoon off-guard.
Kagege mentions that he was a "failed member" of X1 and that he joined Shurara to redeem himself.
Appearance[]
Kagege is a white Keronian with blue and purple flames. He wears a violet scarf. His left eye has a blue cross. His shadow is in the form of large blue flames with his missing left blue eye with a white cross.
Abilities[]
Kagege has the ability to control the shadows of his victims, putting their shadows against them, as seen in episode 202. The shadows have the same strengths and weaknesses as their owners. The shadow replicas can be destroyed by destroying the light source given to cast them in the first place. He was the one to originally create the shadow assassin tricks used by Jirara.
Designer[]
Kagege and all the Shurara platoon members where created by young fans for a contest. The winners were featured in the Keroroland magazine and eventually got to be animated in the show.
His creator's name is Chitose-San from the Art submission.
Etymology[]
Kagege's name is derived from the Japanese word for 'shadow', "kage" (影).
Trivia[]
- In the Spanish translation, he's name was changed to "Zagege", because "Kage" is a bad word in Spanish.
- In a Korean MMO game called Keroro Pang Pang (that shuts down and reopens as KeroroM): Kagege is shown with multiple (eye) expressions not seen before in the anime when the player hits his emotes.
