His next design was created with characteristically animal eyes and long ears, as Arai felt that a person's eyes and silhouette are the features noticed when they are first met. However, he felt that the lack of color did not seem tasteful, and dropped the design. Arai's first design, "Shady", had a shadow-like appearance. His attitude is innocent and even a bit naive, as shown in Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil. He is easily able to befriend characters along the way who support his cause. Wanting to be a hero, he is young and good-hearted and is willing to go against all odds to make sure justice is served. He has Namco's mascot Pac-Man on the side of his blue hat. His traditional voice actor is Kumiko Watanabe, he is voiced by Eric Stitt in the English version of the remake of the first game. He is described within the games and manga as a "Dream Traveler", who is fated to travel to various places where the state of dreams is in danger, but he himself is not aware of that. The character Klonoa has features of a dog, cat, and rabbit but is not explicitly any particular animal. The character and series were launched with the release of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for the PlayStation in 1997. Klonoa ( クロノア, Kuronoa) is a video game series created by Namco and Klonoa Works, as well as the name of the titular character of the series.
