Meaning and background

The story behind Kipo

Kipo is the central character in Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. The official synopsis follows her journey through a world of mutated creatures as she looks for home, her father and missing people from her underground city. That makes adventure and reunion possible story associations, but neither is a literal translation of the name. An owner who likes the series can keep that connection explicit. The compact spelling and final o also make Kipo visually distinct from the longer name of the programme.

Association
