Kapp'n (カッペイ, Kappei / うんてんしゅ, Chauffer) is a green turtle (kappa in the Japanese versions) that features in the Animal Crossing series as a driver of various forms of transport. He has been known to row boats, drive taxis and also 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 expressed a fondness for women and singing old sea shanties.
Appearances
In Animal Crossing
In Animal Crossing (GCN), he is the ferry operator who sails visitors and the player to the island (Animal Island) through the Game Boy Advance cable. During the voyage to the island he sings a sea shanty, usually about his life on the sea and women.
In Animal Crossing: Wild World
In Animal Crossing: Wild World, he drives the black taxi to the town and acts as the introducing character responsible for the gender and appearance of the playable character, as well as the name of the town. This is a role he takes on from Rover. He can sometimes be seen in the The Roost drinking coffee. He will talk about his life at sea upon talking to him and will sometimes seem a bit grumpy.
In Animal Crossing: City Folk
In Animal Crossing: City Folk, he first appears driving the bus to the town, while Rover talks to the playable character determining the gender, and appearance of the character, as well as the name of the town. He will then appear again driving the bus to the city when going to the Bus Stop. During the journey to the city, he will talk about women, the city and modern day youngsters to male players. If the
player is female, he will subtly flirt with them, calling them 'cute', 'pretty' and that a 'manly bus-driver is available'. If the player does not respond, he will begin to whistle his sea shanty.
He also appears in The Roost, as he did in Animal Crossing: Wild World, where he will talk about his life in more detail. He will appear there at 15:00 (3:00pm) to around 18:00 (6:00pm)
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf Kapp'n now drives a motorized boat, and will give you a ride to the island, while singing a little tune along the way. Hearing the song can be avoided by repeatly hitting the button 'A' or 'B'. Doing this will make him stop singing give you a remark and automatically stop you at the island. He now has a wife, named Leilani, a daughter named Leila, and his mother, Grams living over at the shack, with a portside in the front entrance.

Name
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 could also 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, saying things like 'yar!', 'sprat', 'garr' and will sometimes refer to the player as fish or sea creatures, such as 'scallop', 'Sea Bass', 'Sea Cucumber', and 'urchin'. He also wears a cap on his head, which may be of some relevance to his name.
