Domo&#8217;s favorite food is Japanese-style meat and potato stew, and he has a strong dislike for apples, due to an unexplained mystery in his <span class="caps">DNA</span>. Domo can only communicate via producing a low-pitched noise which sounds somewhat like his own name, but other characters appear to understand him. Domo-kun is known to pass gas repeatedly when nervous or upset.&#8221;</p> <p>Domo is often pasted in to relevant or major scenes of disaster as the apparent cause for destruction and retreat. A useage very similar to the more contemporary <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/43-disaster-girl">Disaster Girl</a>.</p> 2009-09-03T18:50:36-06:00 55 6 781 http://knowyourmeme.com/system/icons/55/original/domo_kun.jpg?1231010302
