[edit] Mario series
Please explain how you think Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Bowser meet this description. Andre (talk) 16:25, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)

- Ahh, sorry for the delay. Well, Mario, Luigi and Wario, for starters, look like middle-aged men, and they're mustached, meeting the oyaji stereotype there. Bowser is more subtle, but it has to do with his age, authority and charisma. Bowser is, in fact, an extremely popular subject of oyaji fanart, and he is even promoted to a sex symbol (don't ask me how :P). - Gilgamesh 11:29, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- I really don't know about Koopa, but the 'stached bros. definitely. In a more dialogue-heavy game like Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door it becomes clear that Mario is supposed to have a sort of mature sex appeal, as characters comment on his moustache in various ways.

[edit] "Father," right?
So can we basically include any Japanese-created character who has kids? That would explain King Koopa. --Feitclub 22:22, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Not just has kids, but is reminiscent of juvenile perceptions of grown father figures. Just as children venerate and respect their fathers and grandfathers, some people upon reaching adulthood find the same people to be attractive. The concept of oyaji is similar to (but not the same as) bear. - Gilgamesh 11:31, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Scratch amateur sites.
There aren't professional artist in webpage o' external links. Oyaji isn't a Moé property received wide recognition in Japan. Much more "Oyaji-Kemono Fusion Artists" are. Most of them are men attribute to homosexual called ケモホモ（Kemo-homo）, and are disliked from other sects o' Japanese furry fan.220.102.143.10 01:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
