Don-chan

Don-chan is the main character of the Taiko no Tatsujin series, and appears as a default playable character in the arcade game, Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. In the game, Don-chan is classified as a featherweight character, meaning he has average acceleration and exceptional handling, but poor speed. He also has two palette swaps in the game; one of them dresses him in a strawberry costume (known as Strawberry Don-Chan), and the other gives him a crown, sword, and shield.

It is assumed he acts as a replacement for Mametchi from Arcade GP 2.
