Kawaii♥!ne?? I love Pan-kun! (and aiba-kun too ^^)
Pan-kun and James -kun are good friend. Kawaii thanks for the tapes. They are also very smart
ok, so I noticed that the scientific name for chimps is “pan troglodyte”.
Could this be why he is named Pan-kun? If it is, then Pan-kun’s trainer deserves cute points AND nerd points for giving him a cute and scientifically appropriate name.
