First, here are Shelly and Donny. They are triops. Like Timmy and Tommy to Nook in Animal Crossing, they work for and are learning from Sheldon. As such, they also run the Splatsville branch of Ammo Knights for him.

In Japan, people noticed the similarity between Shelly and Donny in Splatoon 3 and Timmy and Tommy in Animal Crossing. In Japanese, their names are Mamebukichi and Tsbubukichi, and in Japanese Timmy and Tommy are Mamekichi and Tsubukichi. You can see people referencing the twin tanuki in the replies on Twitter.

Next are the Splatoon 3 versions of Annie and Moe. Annie was technically already “around,” as you can buy items from her in the SplatNet app. While she has a different look, she’ll still run the Cooler Heads headgear store.

Splatoon 3 is available for the Nintendo Switch, and the first DLC will arrive in Spring 2023.
