Jock villagers (オイラ oira, or ハキハキ jock) (also called sporty or athletic) are male villagers in the Animal Crossing series. Hakihaki is a Japanese onomatopoeic or mimetic word meaning, briskly, promptly, clearly or lucidly. The English term Jock comes from the American stereotype, usually seen as high school or college jocks. A jock is a male athlete, who, in the light of the media, is considered unintelligent and dull-witted, which is reflected in the Animal Crossing personality type by their key interests in physical fitness and sports, including wrestling and typical gym exercises such as leg-squats and push-ups. These interests are unseen in the game, like the other hobbies. As of now, there are 75 jock villagers.
The name hakihaki is referenced in Wild World's game files, and is the romanization of the Japanese word ハキハキ. Jock villagers are not referred to in any other way by Nintendo.
Characteristics
Jock villagers are obsessed with sports, talking frequently about their physical appearance and sporting progress and occasionally gossip. They brag quite a bit, usually about working out. They would encourage the player when given tasks and other things. Stereotypically, they are also quite stupid, incessantly confusing themselves - calling the brain "the Brian", saying they're in a "punch" instead of pinch and failing to even grasp the concept of the game 'rock, paper, scissors'. Also, they rarely talk about fashion, although they are very similar to snooty villagers. They are the brother-like characters in the game, giving pep talks to the player and appearing competitive towards them and other villagers when they partake in town events. In the original Animal Crossing they go to sleep at 1:00 AM and wake up at 5:30 AM. In Wild World and City Folk they usually go to sleep at 2:00 AM and wake up at 6:30. In New Leaf they go to sleep at 12:00 AM and wake up at 7:00 AM. They are rarely angry unless pushed too far or offended by others, particularly lazy villagers who have conflicting personalities. A discussion between the lazy and jock villager will leave the jock villager confused and unable to talk. When jock villagers get sad, they say something like "I'm just sweating through my eyes!". When at the player's house , they will often say something like, "We have the same taste in sportswear!" Sometimes jock villagers will make suggestive remarks to the player, i.e. "The night is young and so are we!". When in the Roost, They say they "get totally sleepy" whenever they look at the owner.
