TIL today:
”Its name comes from combining the sounds of the words "people" and "police." The character is part of a seven-member family that includes his parents, grandparents and younger sister and brother.”
Had mistakenly thought 'Pipo-kun' was named after the sound of police car sirens and resembled former Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura.
Didn't know about the ”seven-member family”🙂
