Manga

Gon (ゴン) is a Japanese manga series created by Masashi Tanaka, about the (wordless) adventures of a dinosaur and the title character. Gon was most notable outside Japan for his appearance in the PlayStation version of Tekken 3. An animated TV series began airing in Japan on April 2, 2012. The manga received an Excellence Prize at the Japan Media Arts Festival and won an Eisner Award.

Gon is a carnivorous species of Carnosaurian but he vaguely looks more like a tyrannosaurid than a carnosaur, due to his T rex like head. Gon is an omnivore with an enormous appetite, preying on hadrosaurs, pterosaurs and ceratopsians, and also hunts down Stegosauruses, Apatosauruses and even Woolly Mammoths. He possesses enormous power and endurance for his or any size, his feats of strength including supporting his own weight with his jaws, to being able to lift a fully grown sauropod (Brontosaurus, Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus). His scaly hide is almost impenetrable, being able to shrug off the bites of larger predators. Gon's intelligence seems to fluctuate in each adventure, ranging from total cluelessness (such as failing to notice a bird nest on his head for weeks), to strategic cunning (using an Allosaurus as a beast of burden to capture prey). In Tekken 3, Gon is fireproof, has the ability to spit fireballs and use toxic farts. He vocalizes in chirps and shrieks, reminiscent of raccoons and parrots.

Gon made his first video game appearance in the SNES platform game of the same name. The game was developed by Tose and released in Japan by Bandai on November 11, 1994. A new platformer, Gon: Baku Baku Baku Baku Adventure, was developed for the Nintendo 3DS and released in Japan on June 14, 2012 and later in South Korea by Namco Bandai Games. Gon is a licensed guest character appearing in Tekken 3, originally released for PlayStation consoles in April 1998, following the game's arcade debut on March 20, 1997. He is unlockable by defeating him in the Tekken Ball mode or by achieving a high score in Survival mode and inputting the name "Gon".

Sprite Animation Studios announced that Moto Sakakibara, co director of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, will direct a theatrical CG Animation based on the Gon manga. The film was due for release in 2009 but has yet to materialize.

A CG animated television series co produced by Kodansha and Korean publisher Daewon Media aired in Japan from April 2, 2012 to March 25, 2013. It featured Motoko Kumai as the voice of Gon.

Gon won an Excellence Award in the Manga division at the second Japan Media Arts Festival in 1998. It won the Eisner Award for Best U. S. Edition of Foreign Material and Best Humor Publication at the Eisner Awards in 1998.
