G commenting on Kutaro's growth into a hero, and wishing him luck on the rest of his journey to save the Moon Realm.
Kutaro is the hapless and silent main character and protagonist of Puppeteer.
Personality
He used to be a regular selfish boy prior to his adventures across the Moon, but deep down, Kutaro was as pure hearted as they come (which allows him to use Calibrus). He's very playful and energetic and despite being made silent by the Moon Bear King, is nothing short of emotion. He's shown to be quiet easy to frighten, but displays the amazing courage to face what he fears. He's also shows signs of being quite gullible and prideful. Naturally being a child, he also displays a childish behavior from time to time. But as his adventure goes on, he shows to have very heroic traits, which develop over time and makes him quite heroic indeed.
Biography
Kutaro is the main character and protagonist of Puppeteer. He is a young boy who has been kidnapped, taken to the moon, and turned into a puppet. Kutaro loses his head early in the game after being attacked by the Moon Bear King, and must wear others he finds along the way to survive.
To find his way home, Kutaro must journey across the Moon Kingdom, facing off against The Twelve Generals of the Zodiac and eventually, the Moon Bear King himself.
Abilities
In addition to running and jumping, Kutaro is capable of rolling to avoid enemy attacks. His use of various replacement heads allow Kutaro to find secret items and solve simple puzzles until he can get his real head back. Once Kutaro has found the mighty Calibrus, he gains a cutting attack and the ability to briefly hover in the air while snipping with the scissors, allowing him to travel as well.
