You’re referring to “Kobushi” as the name of a pygmy animal in a Japanese zoo—likely a pygmy hippopotamus.

In Japan, zoo animals are often given names that are cute or symbolic. The name “Kobushi” (こぶし / 拳) literally means “fist” in Japanese. It’s a clever or affectionate name that might reflect the animal’s:

Small but strong build (like a clenched fist)

Tough or spirited nature despite its size


So, if a pygmy hippo or another small animal is named “Kobushi,” it’s like calling it “Little Fighter” or “Tiny Power” in spirit. @vitalik.eth
