'''Kappa''' are a species in the {{SER}}. The first Kappa to appear is [[Kapp'n]] in {{DnM+}}; {{NL}} introduces the rest of Kapp'ns family, however: his mother, Grams, his wife, Leilani, and his daughter, Leila. In every non-Japanese versions of the game, Kapp'n is a turtle. This is most likely to avoid confusion, as Kappas are mythical creatures often seen in Japanese culture. Most likely, the rest of Kapp'n's family will be considered turtles in non-Japanese versions.

''Kappa'' are not a real creature, but rather, a ''yokai''; a creature found in Japanese folklore. They are known for their turtle-like appearances and their bowl-shaped heads filled with water. They are said to live in rivers and act hostile toward humans, but they can be subdued by causing them to bow, which drains the water from their head. They become friendly if fed cucumbers.

Turtles or kappa are a species in the Animal Crossing series. The first turtle to appear in Animal Crossing is Kapp'n in Doubutsu no Mori+. Animal Crossing: New Leaf introduces Kapp'n's extended family, including his mother, Grams; his wife, Leilani; and his daughter, Leila. In the Japanese versions of the games, the turtles are referred to as kappa. The change in localization is most likely to avoid confusion, as kappa are largely unknown outside of Japan. However, Kapp'n's English name alludes to his Japanese species.

Kappa are not a real creature, but rather, a yokai; a creature found in Japanese folklore. They are known for their turtle-like appearances and their bowl-shaped heads filled with water. They are said to live in rivers and act hostile toward humans, but they can be subdued by causing them to bow, which drains the water from their head. They become friendly if fed cucumbers.
