Kakuza Party (Kakuzatou; Bootleg: Kakuzato) is a type of T-Fanger found in Telefang 1. They appear in the beginning of the game. They are said to be children who got lost in the Denjuu world and dressed up as Denjuu to try to fit in. They have a unique look, with bulging eyes and long nails.

Naming problems

The previously used name, Stranded Child, isn't correct. The tou in Kakuzatou means political party. The guide confirms the kanji (カクザ党) for it, and it makes a lot of sense considering the context. Nerikara is running for prime minister of the Denjuu world, and the animal-suit lackeys do their best to follow his orders and spam the party name (Kakuza party!) and slogan (For the bright future!).

The name is a pun on kaku zatou, the japanese term for cube sugar. But the the kakuza is written in katakana and the tou is in hiragana. That's why the name can't be just translated as "sugar cube", because kaku means square and satou means sugar, and you don't mix alphabets within words. The idea is that it is a political party in context, but when said aloud it sounds like sugar cube.

Kakuza on its own doesn't really mean anything here, since the "stranded" word only seems to apply to large vehicles such as ships being unable to move.

Denjuu

The Denjuu that this T-Fanger has are usually around low levels.

The following is a list of Denjuu that all Kakuza Party T-Fangers have.
