|
The Donpans (ドンパンズ?, Donpanzu), also known as Bon Dance Musume (ボンダンス娘?, Bondansu Musume) in Bon Dance, are a group of four girls that appear alongside Yagura-chan in The☆Bon Odori and Bon Dance in Rhythm Tengoku.
Backstory
The Donpans perform the "Bon Odori" in many towns and villages, and they've competed with many rivals along the way.[1] A certain producer who was keeping an eye on them decided to put them on the big stage, where their dance is accompanied by pop music, now under the name of Bon Dance Musume.[2]
