So, Taro is a tanuki - which means he has powers that let him create illusions and disguises. (More info in his app here.)

This requires a little bit of information from you, my fellow players!

In addition, Taro's not the biggest on pop culture, but he's from 2022, tends to hang around with people who are high school and college age, and occasionally sees movies or plays video games (less so in the past few decades but still enough to have a vague knowledge of what's going on in pop culture).

(Please note that I will not fourth wall without permission. Even if he does recognize a character he's unlikely to tell them they're fictional or hint at anything he knows about them unless absolutely pressed to do so in a thread.)

The one exception to this that I request is James Bond. If your character's from that franchise please talk to me - he has a specific, canon interest in that franchise.

Character Name | Journal
Can Taro use illusions on your character at all?: If you don't want him to, we can avoid that!
Can your character see through illusions?: Either through a spell/special ability or simply enough practice with seeing illusions that they're used to it.
Are there any kinds of illusions you'd like him to avoid?: Either for your comfort or your character's - if you're afraid of spiders, for example, I'll try to avoid him using an illusion involving those.
Can Taro take on your character's appearance?: Obviously I'll plot this out with you ahead of time, but Taro's pretty good at making himself look like other people with his illusions. Tell me here if you want these shenanigans!
If so, does your character have any physical attributes that are especially notable?: Does your character have wings? Webbed feet? Tell me here! Please not that this does not grant him any magical and/or supernatural abilities - he can fly if he takes on the form of a bird, or run fast if he takes the form of a cheetah, but if he turns into Percy Jackson all that's going to happen if he tries to use ocean powers is that he's going to look dumb.
Is it okay if he recognizes your character (2022 and previous canons released in America only): He may not even know your character, especially if you're from an anime or are aimed at a demographic he doesn't really appear as. Or, he might know your face/name but not anything about your story or history. Let me know!
Anything else?: Put anything else related to these that you think I should know here!
