Is Tom Nook a human man?

[Mink777]

This is a very interesting question. Do you think Tom Nook is human?

Where was that mentioned? In ACNL and HHD tom nook himself Mentions that he's a raccoon. I've NEVER seen the word dog after it.

 

[~Unicorn~]

Tanooki

 

[candxur]

he's a tanuki, aka a racoon dog

tanuki are more closely related to foxes than to racoons if I'm correct in saying?

Tom Nook is, 100%, HUMAN. Fight me if you disagree.

Probably a human wearing a raccoon costume. Just like zipper. Lol!

 

[Dewy]

wow I hope not

 

[daisyflowers]

Humans don't have tails.
you just got beamed.

 

[peachesand]

I don't think so- he has two kids that are also little... whatever he is, but it isn't human.

K boi let's fight. Right now.

Tanuki who loves money.

Timmy, Tommy and Tom Nook are all Tanukis, which if I remember correctly are a creature from Japanese (?) stories, myths or legends.

I first saw him as a raccoon. Then I realized he's actually a tanooki, so no, I don't consider him a "human man"

 

[Pyoopi]

This is the most 'kid friendly' version of the tanuki statue I could find. (very, very hard)

Of course NA or EU won't explicitly stated he's a tanuki because those are native to Japan and they closely resemble our trash pandas aka raccoons. Most people would be "wats dat".

"raccoon figurine" is the tanuki statue.

 

[primandimproper]

I thought he was a tanuki.

 

[pizzapie44]

tom nook rejected his humanity and became a monster instead

 

[davekats]

now i'm thinking about tom nook with human hands and...i don't think i'm sleeping tonight

I picked the last two options, lol. Tom Nook is clearly meant to be a raccoon or a tanukki.
