Bud

Bud is a jock lion villager in the. He has appeared in all games except for the very first installment,. His Japanese name is a pun on the slang word gurasan, which is derived from sangurasu, meaning 'sunglasses'. In and, he is an islander.

Appearance
Bud is brown lion with an orange mane and a large smile. He wears pink-rimmed sunglasses with dark lenses, which usually obscure his eyes; however, if viewed from an angle (or given normal glasses in, , or ), one can see that Bud has small, black eyes with very small white pupils. His skin tone being darker than that of his mane may allude to the tan of a stereotypical "surfer-dude", which many of his other traits derive from.

Personality
Bud has a jock personality, which means he will have a keen interest in sport and fitness, making him appear competitive and in some cases rude when talking to other villagers, usually criticizing their fitness. He will appear slow-witted and absent-minded when talking about deep, meaningful things. He will get along well with peppy villagers, but get confused by the choice of lifestyle followed by lazy villagers, who appear opposite to the jock personality. He may offend and upset snooty and cranky villagers.
