I had to come to this article to see who the heck 'aiichiro' was. Literally NO ONE calls him that :/ you could've at least included his last name, which way more people call him by in the show?

I only remembered he was Aichiiro because Rin calls him Ai now. Lol. A duck is very cute though.

For some reason, I thought Nitori already had an animal. He always seemed more like a Remora/Suckerfish/PIlot Fish to me lol.

No, but in England, he'd be a "ducky". Wink

"Ahiru" means "Duck" in Japanese (Thanks, Princess Tutu!) and "Aiichiru" is just a couple characters off, so it makes sense.

Momotarou's has now been added!

I want these. I wonder who the mystery two will be? My bets are on Gou and the elder Mikoshiba.
