Personality

"Badtz-maru is one mischievous penguin. He’s excited to soak up some rays, surf some waves and catch some giant fish while on vacation! But something weird is happening on this island, and even though he’s easy-going, he’s determined to uncover the mystery." — Badtz-maru's character page on the official Hello Kitty Island Adventure website

Badtz-maru's biggest hobbies are pranks, comic books, and fishing. As for the fish themselves, he might enjoy releasing them just as much as catching them! He ends up running a comic shop on the docks. If there is a mystery afoot, however, the Fancy Pants Detective Agency is sure to be on the case.
