Cyrano (さくらじま,Sakurajima?) is a crankyanteatervillager that appears in the Animal Crossing series. He appears in Gekijōban Dōbutsu no Mori as a minor character, being friends with Cesar the gorilla. His name refers to Cyrano de Bergerac, a French dramatist who was fictionalized to have a large nose. His Japanese name may refer to the sakurajima radish, which is a round radish with a long tail, much like his nose.
Cyrano is an indigo-colored anteater with a orange colored snout, face and paws. He has freckles on the bridge of his snout and thick, black eyebrows, which are always lowered and slant inwards, giving the impression that he is glaring. The inside of his ears are pink. He initially wears the wave shirt in Animal Forest through Animal Forest e+, and the dawn tee in Wild World, City Folk, and New Leaf.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the cranky personality. For more information, click here.
Cranky villagers will usually appear in a grouchy or agitated mood. When talking to the player, cranky villagers tend to become angry if the player disagrees with them or refuses to do a favor. Like all cranky villagers, Cyrano will be invested in his hobby and will often challenge the player to various competitions. He will easily get along with jock, snooty, and other cranky villagers, and occasionally lazy and normal villagers as well. However, he will find it hard to socialize with peppy villagers, as they will seem overstimulated or immature.
House[]
In Wild World, City Folk, and New Leaf, Cyrano has a bamboo wall and tatami, along with a mega oboid, two screens, a samurai suit, an exotic chest, and a hearth in the middle. K.K. Faire plays in his house.
In New Horizons, Cyrano retains the tatami, one of two screens, and the hearth from previous games. K.K. Lament now plays in his house.
Like most of the cast, Cyrano was given toes and fingers; Cyrano's fur color had also toned down quite a bit in the film.
Cyrano, along with his friend, Cesar, is a minor character in the movie, only appearing a total of five times in the movie. Busy with her deliveries, Ai goes to The Roost to deliver goods to Apollo. Once there, Ai, confused, asks if either of the two is Apollo, which sends the men in a laughing riot. After their short but loud laugh, Cyrano then whispers that Apollo was a tolerable guy until he decided to leave town. He later appears at the beach and the festival. Around the time when Sally moves, Yu and Halberd trap the two pals with pitfall seeds, leading them into a pitiful predicament. They, like everyone else, also showed up at the UFO crash. Over the course of the movie, except for the beach scene, Cyrano's outfit has stayed the same.
Cyrano's "well-defined" nose and stern eyebrows have all the girls swooning, but he's actually far more sensitive than his rugged good looks suggest. And he's not afraid to tell you that.
His initial catchphrase is "ah-CHOO", which is the onomatopoeia for sneezing.
His Spanish, French, Italian, and Dutch catchphrases also are sneezing noises.
He is named after Cyrano de Bergerac, a French dramatist and duelist whose life has been fictionalized in a number of different plays and films. In all interpretations, Cyrano de Bergerac is known as talented soldier, duelist, poet, and musician, but suffers from poor self-esteem due possessing a large nose, preventing him from pursuing the beautiful Roxanne, with whom he has fallen in love. Cyrano's portrait quote is likely a reference to the fact that there is a statue to his namesake in Bergerac, Dordogne, a commune in southern France.
In New Horizons, his picture quote was partially changed from "cut off" to "punch" compared to New Leaf, because cutting off noses was seen as barbaric for an E-rated game.
In New Horizons, Cyrano's preferred styles are Active/Cool, and his preferred colors are Beige/Yellow.
