John lives with Draluc in Ronaldo’s office, sharing their chaotic everyday life.

Although he understands human speech, he cannot speak it himself.

Only Draluc can understand John’s words directly, but John can still communicate with others through gestures, drawings, and other expressive methods.

Despite his adorable appearance, John is around 180 years old and sometimes shows a worldly, age-appropriate shrewdness.

John is calm, gentle, and kindhearted.

He is one of the few characters who sincerely worries about Draluc’s safety, and the two share a deep emotional bond.

He also adores Ronaldo, though he sometimes joins Draluc in teasing him or interfering with his work.

This mix of sweetness and mischief makes him both lovable and surprisingly troublesome.

John deeply respects and loves Draluc.

Even when Draluc uses him as a shield, known as a “John Guard,” or treats him like a ball, John remains devoted to him.

He strongly dislikes being separated from Draluc by Ronaldo, showing just how important their bond is.

His full name comes from the many names arbitrarily given to him by members of Draluc’s family, all strung together into one extravagant title.

John is adored by Ronaldo and the vampire hunters.

He is also popular across the Shin-Yokohama neighborhood, where he actively participates in local events.

His charm eventually leads to the creation of the “John-kun Fan Club,” later renamed the “John-kun Church.”

In April 2016, John became the first character among the trio to receive related merchandise.

A T-shirt featuring John was released through Akita Shoten’s online shop, even before similar goods for Draluc or Ronaldo.

From October 2017, a web manga titled “Almost Daily Armadillo John” was serialized on “Daily Monthly Champion.”
