The story

What Is Afro-Ken About?

The premise of Afro-Ken without spoilers.

Afro‑Ken is a cheerful, mute dog whose signature rainbow‑colored afro makes him instantly recognizable. He’s especially fond of anything that resembles his own look—cotton candy being a favorite. The world includes several variations, each sporting a different hairstyle: a spiky mohawk version called Mohican‑Ken, a curly‑haired form known as Curly‑Ken, and a smooth, hairless type referred to as Normal‑Ken.
