it's a bit hard to pinpoint when exactly i got into the klonoa series to be honest... i remember i used to see klonoa around here and there throughout the years but didn't think much of it. most prominently i remember seeing him on this old (now defunct) roblox roleplay game from when i played roblox frequently from 2016 to 2018, where you could pick him as a character. nobody ever played as him but i thought he was cute
relating to this, in late 2017 (for my birthday) i got a drawing app on my nintendo 2ds called colors 3d! it's honestly pretty robust for somethin on the ds, and i've made a lot of my best art on it!
either way though, it had tags and such you could search for stuff for, and i remember in mid 2019 i was looking at an artist's gallery and saw they had klonoa stuff, i thought it was cute so i looked through the klonoa tag, enjoyed all the characters i was seeing, and then thus looked up a playthrough of door to phantomile
ever since then ive been a klonoa fan! i picked up lunatea's veil on my birthday in 2019 via an ebay bidding, and i played the hell out of it lmao
i've been kind of out of major interest for the series for a year since then, but i still love it passively and try to keep an eye on news relating to the game
so yea! that's how i found klonoa
