Know that my name is Razorkukku!

• Razorkukku (Beastformer, 1987)
  • Beast ID number: 63
  • Accessories: "Valiant Razor" staff

Razorkukku is an anthropomorphic domestic chicken in high-tech blue armor. He comes with his "Valiant Razor" (バリアントレーザー) double-bladed staff. He has one of three randomly-applied rubsigns on his chest, revealing the elemental power of fire, water, or wood.

Notes

• Okay... for the longest time, it was thought that his name was, ahem, "Laser Cock". Let's get those giggles out now, shall we? We'll wait.

• Done? No?

• Okay. Now. So, yeah. "Cock", of course, being another word for a male chicken. Examining the actual katakana for his name, "レーザークック" ... "レーザー" (rēzā) means "laser" or "razor". Since he has no lasers (none of the pre-Laser Beasts have them), "Razor" makes more sense. More importantly, "クック" (kukku) is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the clucking sound a chicken makes. (If it was actually supposed to be "cock" it would be written as コック kokku.) Hence, "Razorkukku".

• Sorry.
