Rejected designs

The pop'n music series has a long history of rejected characters. Some never saw the light of day, and some would later be used many years or mixes later. For the first game, these include

  • A green man with an afro (early BAMBOO, perhaps?)
  • A pink bunny, later used as PRETTY in pop'n music CS
  • A pumpkin-head guy with jeans and a shirt with a dollar sign on it
  • A green-skinned vampire with parted blonde hair, a black jacket, a red shirt, and jeans (early Yuli?)
  • A bear with the flag of Great Britain on it
  • An angry-looking Native American
  • A hippie dog
  • A pair of frogs (possibly early version of Anzu)
  • A green donkey with a guitar
  • A skateboarding snowman with green shorts
  • A walking orange with clothes
  • A weird-looking yellow man with black overalls and pink shoes and a red hat (face looks similar to that of TROPPIE)
  • A space man in a yellow suit (early Cyber?)
  • Male Japanese announcer in a kimono
  • Man with a T.V. for a head
  • A yellow-skinned man with a blue hat covering his eyes, with a white t-shirt and green pants. Also wears a necklace with a picture of a green hand with four fingers
  • An angry-looking chicken wearing glasses, blue shades, a small, tight shirt, green shorts, and multi-colored shoes
  • A man in a circus-type costume with a black bandana covering his eyes (similar to the garb Mimi and Nyami wear in pop'n music 13 カーニバル)
  • A red fire with a black biker shirt, a belt, and brown shoes

Also notable are various color designs for already established characters. For example, JUDY's hair was originally brown.
