| Koohii Story 1 | This character is the "kei" in "keitai" (cell phone), a word you will no doubt hear often in Japan, since everyone has one. Imagine you´ve just arrived in Japan, but don´t have a cell phone yet, so instead you´re carrying around a portable turkey you can hold in your fist. To dial a number, just poke it with your fingers. | 
| Koohii Story 2 | Because they have no fingers, turkeys must use their fists when dialing on a portable phone. |
