Trivia
- Dondozo is the tallest Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
- Dondozo and its Shiny coloration were designed by James Turner.[2][3]
Origin
Dondozo seems to be based on the wels catfish, a large species of catfish that is native to Europe and was introduced to Spain. Its Shiny coloration resembles an albino wels catfish. The presence of bird Pokémon in Dondozo's diet may be inspired by the wels catfish's hunting behavior, as some individuals have been known to successfully hunt terrestrial birds by beaching themselves. Dondozo may also be based on a sushi chef, considering its relationship with Tatsugiri, the frills on its head which resemble a bandana or headband commonly worn as part of a sushi chef's uniform, and its tongue which resembles a sushi geta. Its face also somewhat resembles that of a smooth-head blobfish.
Dondozo keeping Tatsugiri inside its mouth may be a reference to mouthbrooding, a parenting style performed by many species of fish–including some catfish species–where the parent fish will keep their offspring safe by holding them inside their mouth. Dondozo's low smarts and larger size compared to Tatsugiri, combined with their synergy together, seem to reference the common "Brains and Brawn" team-up trope in media. Tatsugiri acting as the boss supports this, as the "Brains" is most often the leader in these team-ups.
Name origin
Dondozo may be a combination of don (Spanish for lord) and どうぞ dōzo (Japanese for "please (help yourself)"; typically said when offering something). Don also refers to a crime boss, which may allude to Dondozo's relationship with Tatsugiri, who acts as its consigliere. It may also derive from bozo, in reference to Dondozo's dimwitted nature.
Heyrusher may be a combination of へいらっしゃい heirasshai ("Hey, come on in"; typically said by sushi restaurant chefs when greeting customers) and the agentive suffix ~者 -sha or -er. It may also refer to Rusher Itamae, a Japanese comedian. 板前 Itamae is a Japanese word referring to a chef of traditional Japanese cuisine, and can refer to a sushi chef.
