Yunta

Yunta is one of the characters from pop'n music 7.

Character Information^[2]

Speaking of REGGAE, I believe there's a lot of people who remember Uncle Jam, but this time, here's the landing for this sensation that is a little bit of a modern style and youth style (I feel like an old lady myself making this expression...). I've been sent by countless questions, though I do know that this character is not blood related to Uncle Jam.
I wanted to doodle some characters while remembering so many of these people at the time I traveled to Yoronjima earlier (it's in Kagoshima), since I heard that Okinawa previously did make reggae music from here.
In FEVER! time, my ideas become wild and a bit of a throwback, because the very first of them was a lion. I've noticed that there was a beard on him!
Perhaps I was able to moderately show the methods of how I animated Yunta, making him like a mischievous older brother who's cool and easygoing in southlander style, so I'm pretty satisfied for now.

Appearance

Yunta is a young Japanese male from Okinawa with three cheek marks on each of his face cheeks, and brown hair styled in large locks. Yunta wears a yellow shirt with the Japanese word of "kaito" (海人, meaning "ocean man"^?) printed into it. He has a forest green beaded necklace and a white headband. The bottom of Yunta's clothes are dark aquamarine baggy pants with red, yellow, and black stripes on both pant leg, and black sandals with red straps. Yunta has a light skin complexion, as the rest is suntanned, visualized by a rare card from pop'n éclale.

Yunta's 2P color palette made his skin slightly darker and kept the eyes untouched. His dreadlocks have a dark walnut color. Yunta's necklace is red, and the shirt is pale indigo, while the Japanese font is white. His baggy pants are shaded into a dark indigo, while the stripes are pale red and green. Yunta's sandals match the color is his pants. His 2P color palette is shown in 7000 Questions, from pop'n music 9, in the ee'MALL category.
