PaRappa Rappa

PaRappa Rappa (パラッパラッパー), alias PaRappa the Rapper and more commonly referred to as PaRappa or Parappa, is a paper-thin rapping dog and the titular protagonist of the franchise. His adventures usually lead to difficult situations which he counters with his catchphrase, "I gotta believe!" and pulls through. He is a secondary protagonist of Um Jammer Lammy alongside Lammy. After completing the main story, an additional story arc is unlocked, starring PaRappa as the player's character. In cutscenes, he is depicted as being enlisted into MilkCan as a helper for everyone else (Lammy, Katy, Ma-san, and Sunny, his crush), and later teaming up with his friend PJ in an attempt to start their own rock band.
