Giroro

Corporal Giroro (ギロロ伍長, Giroro Gochō) is the Platoon's highly aggressive weapons expert. His body is dark red, while his headgear is dark maroon with a skull in the middle. He is the only member of the platoon who doesn't wear a symbol on his belly. Instead, he wears a belt with a rectangular buckle diagonally across his body. However, when he was a tadpole, he had a skull symbol on his belly.[1] His Afro, which is rarely seen, is blond. Giroro is the only member of the platoon who takes the invasion of Earth seriously and is often frustrated by the lack of progress made towards accomplishing this mission. Due to Keroro's negligence in his duties as commanding officer, Giriro often acts as the disciplinarian in the platoon, keeping Keroro from ignoring his duties when the later forgets to submit his invasion reports to HQ or is caught spending their invasion budget on schemes that often put them in the red. Despite this, he will follow Keroro's orders, whether or not they make sense as he still holds respect for the chain of command. Giroro once had respect for Keroro as an officer before their mission to Earth and, at one point, attempted to restore Keroro to his former self. However, he soon came to regret it as Keroro had become too powerful for anyone to control. Though Kururu outranks him, Giroro acts as the de facto second in command after Keroro due to Kururu's volatile personality and laziness. Giroro had displayed outstanding leadership skills at times of crisis and has taken charge of the platoon on more than one occasion when the situation called for it, mostly on combat missions. Giroro is in love with Natsumi Hinata, something everyone but Natsumi seems to know since she defeated all his traps he set when he arrived at the Hinata house.[2] He attacks anyone who seeks to harm her, even his platoon members. Giroro views Mutsumi Saburo as a robust romantic rival and will do whatever it takes to keep him from getting close to Natsumi even though she is in love with Saburo.[3] Despite being the most dedicated to the invasion of Earth, Giroro's romantic obsession with Natsumi has caused him to abandon his duties on more than one occasion which often end up with Giroro unintentionally botching Keroro's plans of the invasion when they put Natsumi in danger. Ever since his first encounter with the Hinatas, Giroro has been living in a tent in their backyard, where he roasts sweet potatoes he sometimes shares with Natsumi and obsessively cleans his weapons. The buckle of his belt hides his treasure, a photo of Natsumi. He shares his tent with a whitish-pink female cat he rescued from the rain and named "Miss Furbottom."[4] Unknown to him, Miss Furbottom is in love with Giroro. Giroro has a short temper. He is often irritated by the laid-back and unfocused attitude towards the invasion of the other members of the Platoon, specially Keroro. He appears to be gruff, but he is an honorable frog with a good heart. He lacks any other hobby apart from his weapons. He is terrified of ghosts[5] and sea cucumbers.[6] He cannot drink more than a drop of alcohol without passing out. Despite being dedicated to the call of duty, Giroro is often used as comic relief. He is often crushed by something dropped from Natsumi's window or a falling object from space, usually containing an alien of some sort (or Karara). Other times he reluctantly volunteers himself to test Kururu's inventions at Keroro's request in the pursuit of money, which most times leave him injured. His romantic dilemma with Natsumi leaves him clumsy and blundering. His feelings toward her are often used by other characters to get him to agree to something, saying that she will like it. Her Animal form is Dog.
