Born in Japan, 2010. Banana Dog is created by artist Shohei Nishihara. Banana Dog is from a picture book that Shohei wrote for international school kids where he used to work in his early career.
As Banana Dog was created for a classroom with children from multiple countries, its concept is “a character loved without borders”. Banana Dog was designed with the idea that “a banana and a pup can be accepted by many cultures”.
Banana Dog, which are born from a magic banana tree, is a wonderful dog that has a head of a dog and a tail of a banana. Its size is about one bunch of bananas. It can be found in a warm island somewhere in the world. It lives in a magic cardboard box. Each Banana Dog has a unique character. Its tail is as sweet as honey and creamy as butter.
