Welcome FishFam


Hangydon is man of mystery in the Sanrio Cinematic Universe (SCU). A retro reddit post from BEFORE the pandemic had a few clippings from a 19802s issue of Strawberry News (the Japanese only 💔 Monthly Sanrio newspaper written by a staff of mostly female Sanrio Staffers. Follow and ill do a whole history soon). This is Hangydons formals introduction to Sanrioverse and the first comic page series he starred in. (all 3 parts!). While you are here enjoy the mini biography as well. 




Any Hangydon superfans out there?

Love you!

Hangyodon: The Lovable Under-Sea Dreamer

Hangyodon is a sensitive, slightly lonely fish-man who was born on March 14th (White Day) in China. Despite his somewhat tough appearance, he is a hopeless romantic with a heart of gold. Here is a cute bio for everyone's favorite blue fish:


Quick Facts

  • Species: Half-fish, half-man 🐟🚶‍♂️

  • Best Friend: Sayuri the octopus (who is always there to cheer him up!)

  • Favorite Food: Cold Chinese noodles, shrimp crackers, and hot pot.

  • Secret Skill: He is a master of acting and comedy (even if he gets stage fright).


Personality & Vibes

hangyodon is a dreamer who desperately wants to be a hero, but things don’t always go exactly as planned. He can be a bit of a "crybaby" because he wears his heart on his sleeve, but that just makes him more relatable!

He spends most of his time trying to make people laugh or daydreaming about his next big adventure. Even when he feels a little lonely, he stays optimistic and keeps trying his best.

Style Profile

  • Signature Look: Big, expressive eyes and a round, huggable silhouette.

  • Color Palette: Soft mi

  • nt blue and pastel pink.

  • Hobbies: Collecting detective novels and practicing his comedy routines.

Fun Fact: Hangyodon has a secret alter-ego

 called "Kaitou Hangyodon" (the Phantom Thief Hangyodon), though he’s much better at being cute than being a master criminal!


Whether he's hanging out with the rest of the Happidanbui (the Sanrio boy group) or just snacking on noodles with Sayuri, Hangyodon reminds us all that it’s okay to be a little different and a lot sensitive.
