BuriBuri Zaemon

A talking “heroic” but actually quite cowardly, lazy, treacherous, and funny pig that appears in some of the episodes and chapters about ancient Japan. The character is a product of Shin-chan’s imagination, but carries on as though he is a popular character. His appearances are limited, due to the fact that his voice actor, Kaneto Shiozawa, died in 2000, and the character has not had a speaking part since. He is considered a demon or ‘rakshas’ in the Indian version, due to the fact that “Buri” means “bad” in Hindi. Hence, none of the episodes with him are shown in the Indian version.
