Crusty Sean

"What up, squiddo?!"

- Crusty Sean upon entering Shrimp Kicks

Crusty Sean (Japanese: ロブ Rob) is a Japanese tiger prawn in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Splatoon
Crusty Sean is Japanese Tiger Shrimp, he wears a dark purple beanie and a fuzzy yellow-orange jacket making him resemble a Tempura Prawn. As a shrimp he has 4 pairs of legs and wears a different pair of shoes on each pair of legs, Hi-Horses on the pair of feet he is standing on, Pink Trainers, Blue Sea Slugs, and pink and red Arrows on the 3 pairs of legs on his body.

Splatoon 2
Crusty Sean retains his original appearance in Splatoon 2. He still wears sneakers on all of his feet and wears the same jacket, although now he wears a white baseball cap backwards with new glasses and has a black hoop earring on the right side.

Splatoon
Crusty Sean is the shopkeeper of Shrimp Kicks, the Shoe store in Inkopolis Plaza and is known to be carelessly friendly. He is obsessed with wearing many of his favorite shoes all at the same time thanks to having many legs. While his "fried" body gives him the look of a tempura, it is actually just a slightly morbid designer jacket.

[[Media:Shop - Shrimp Kicks.ogg|Crusty Sean's version]] of DJ Lee Fish's song Lookin' Fresh has the bass turned all the way up and emphasizes percussion, because his gear corresponds to the lower part of the body. Furthermore, the heavy beat gives it a bouncy sound, reflecting his outgoing personality.

Splatoon 2
In Splatoon 2 is no longer the owner of Shrimp Kicks, but rather, the owner of a food truck, the Crust Bucket, in Inkopolis Square.

He now sells various foods and drinks which offer various benefits to Inklings. His various food items can increase the amount of coins earned or points gained during online play by 1.5x or 2x. Additionally, his selection of drinks increases the odds rolling certain gear abilities.
