'''Kapp'n''' is a green Tortoise (Kappa in the japanese version) that features in the ''[[Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' series as a driver of various forms of transport. He has been known to row boats, drive taxis and 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 of talked.
In Animal Crossing City Folk, he drives the bus to the [[city]], often asking you questions about your life, and talking about the wonders of the city.

His catchphrases are: 
 
'Yar!' 
'Sprat' 
'Garrr!' 
 
And often uses fish and other sea life when talking to the [[Player]], such as '''Sea Bass''', '''Urchin''' and '''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 previous Animal Crossing 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 or tell her that "thar be a manly bus-driver avalible" occasionally in City Folk.
