Courtney[1] (じめんくん[2]?, Jimen-kun) is a blue floor with two eyes and a mouth who appears in Fruit Basket in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Story

Courtney lives next to a school. Occasionally, basketballs, ping-pong balls, soccer balls, rugby balls[3] and even fruit will come over the fence in rhythm. Nobody seems to be there, leading him to believe that it's haunted.[4] There is also a gymnasium near Courtney, where the Space Dancers play ping-pong. One day, a table-tennis ball falls on the court. He wants to return it, but he can't enter the gymnasium because it's always locked[5]. Being a street, Courtney doesn't know how to play with it. He doesn't even know what a table is, and believes it's a kind of duck.[6]

Courtney appears to have been a relationship or had a crush on a girl at one point; a pink, more feminine floor. Sometime between the events of Fruit Basket and Fruit Basket 2, however, they either broke up, or Courtney got rejected. Courtney appears to hate spiders but like Pandas and Pugs. He likes pizza and hamburgers as well. Courtney likes sports and Tic-Tac-Toe.
