'''Kapp'n''' is a green turtle (Kappa in the japanese version) that features in the {{SER}} series as a driver of various forms of transport. He has been known to [[Animal Crossing (GCN)|row boats]], [[Animal Crossing: Wild World|drive taxis]] and also [[Animal Crossing: City Folk|drive buses]]. Kapp'n himself is a sailor by nature, referring frequently to his life on the sea and speaking in stereotypical pirate tones. He has also expresses a fondness for women and singing old sea shanties.

The word 'Kappa', from which Kapp'n derives, is the name for a river imp in Japanese folklore. They are mischevous in nature, and reptilian in appearance. His name also could be the sailor pronounciation of 'captain', where letters are missed out in certain words which is how sailors in the past were believed to have talked.

In {{CF}}, he drives the [[bus]] to the [[city]], often asking the [[player]] questions about his/her life, and talking about the wonders of the city.

His catchphrases are: 
 
'Yar!' 
'Sprat' 
'Garrr!' 
 He often uses fish and other sea life when talking to the [[player]], such as '''Sea Bass''', '''Urchin''' or '''Scallop'''.

He can sometimes be found in [[The Roost]], located in the [[museum]], and will talk about his memories of the sea, and how he misses it, referring to his job in [[Animal Crossing (GCN)|previous]] {{SER}} games.

On the bus to the city, he'll often be talking to male characters about any ''lasses'' they may of met in the city, and often comments about how the younger generation are picky about who they date and see. Again, this could be referencing to '''sea dogs''' or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaman Seamen] and their port behaviour. When he speaks to female characters, he appears to "flirt", or at least, call her cute, tell her that she smells good or tell her that "thar be a manly bus-driver avalible" occasionally in City Folk.
In Animal Crossing Wild World, Kapp'n can appear in the Roost usually flirting with the girls. He says several things along the lines of, "Whats your ring size?" or "The seat next to me is looking awfully empty"
