Yukan no Shonen: Difference between revisions

'''Yukan no Shonen''' (Japanese: 幽管の少年, lit. "ghost tube boy") is a character from [[Lomando.com]] that appears in various [[YouTube]] videos on the platform. He is featured puzzles such as in the [[Lomando.com#Yukan no Shonen's hiragana puzzle|hiragana puzzle]] and [[Lomando.com#Yukan no Shonen's Jan Ken Pon puzzle|Jan Ken Pon puzzle]]. Yukan no Shonen is depicted as a young Japanese boy with a round head and grey skin wearing a dark navy blue ''[[wikipedia:Jinbei|jinbei]]'' with enlarged eyes that ooze a grey liquid. He has a raised hand in his gallery art. He also has short hair and gray skin.  

 

Yukan no Shonen is interacts with the player in some of the videos. For example, in Iamonnenuohs.html, he greets the player and instructs them to enter hiragana characters in the correct order in a box while performing a short dance. If the player enters the correct code, Yukan no Shonen will say 正解だよ (''seikai da yo'', "that's the correct answer"). If the code is incorrect, a close-up of Yukan no Shonen's eyes briefly appears as he says 違うよ (''chigau yo'', "that's wrong"). In other videos, Yukan no Shonen appears alongside other characters, such as [[Mimi]] and Nekoshow, dancing to music in the Red Number remix.

Yukan no Shonen also appears in various puzzles and secret pages, including Ieamonnnegnuohs12.html, where he points at random cards held by people wearing Elizabeth's masks. The red cards display the correct code, while the black cards simply list the numbers 1-9. Only the numbers on the red cards should be typed in, and the video speeds up over time, making it challenging to count the numbers. Yukan no Shonen also makes a cameo appearance in the "BAR" slot in [[Deep Fancy Island#Deepslotkai.html|Deepslotkai.html]].

Yukan no Shonen used to appear in the old version of Twinklegallery.html. If the player found the phone at the bottom of the page and clicked on the "Scrolled Side" section multiple times, the phone would ring, and Yukan no Shonen would answer. He would then congratulate the player for beating Fancy Island and provide them with the password to the door of the extra page, which is "4181." Yukan no Shonen also appears in [[Deep Fancy Island#Deepdotsboy.html|Deepdotsboy.html]] as pixel art, where he congratulates the player for finding the page and gives them the code to Secret 4 in [[Deep Fancy Island#Deeparchive.html|Deeparchive.html]].

*"Yukan" (幽管) is a pun on YouTube. The first kanji, 幽 (''yū'', "profound" or secluded"), sounds similar to "you", and is used in words like 幽霊 (''yūrei'', "ghost"), reflecting the character's eerie appearance. The second kanji, 管, is read as ''kan'' and means "pipe" or "tube".
