3. Donki friend. Looks like the Don Quijote mascot comes in a onesie version too!

With my best mate, Donpen! I’ve wanted one of these onesies for so long, and since Halloween is coming up I decided it was time. My boss doesn’t know Donpen, there is no Donki in Maizuru, so my students probably won’t know what I am. But I do, and I guess that’s more important? ? Do you know Donpen?
