Appearance

Rockabelly looks very much like Peckpocket, but different palettes. Instead of all yellow, the leaf-like feather attached to his long gray feather on his head is yellow with purple in the middle. He is dull orange and the tips of his wings are cracked and colored cream. He has purple eyes and markings that look like a face on his belly.

Trivia

Origin

Rockabelly's appearance and behaviour is based on the hara-odori, a party stunt in which a person draws a goofy face on their belly, lifts their shirt over their head and dances around to amuse the other guests. The tradition reaches far back in time, and since the late '60s the Furano prefecture in Hokkaido holds a yearly Heso Matsuri ("belly button festival") where people perform the dance with more elaborate costumes and bodypaint.

Rockabelly might also be based on the haradashi ("belly-out"), a youkai with a face on its belly that in exchange for sake will dance and frolic to cheer humans up and help them laugh their tears away. Though it can be mischievous, it is a kind-hearted creature that will help lost travelers and offer them food. However, due to the lack of traditional sources it is speculated this youkai was actually invented by Arifumi Sato, author of Nihon Youkai Taizen ("Compendium of Japanese Youkai").

Name Origin

  • "Rockabelly" combines rockabilly and belly, or is a contraction of rock a belly. "Harao Dori" translates as Harao bird, but is also a pun on hara-odori.
