'''Afro Ken''' (アフロ犬) is a Japanese character created by the  [[San-X]] company, which creates other [[anime]]-style characters such as [[Kogepan]]. He is a [[dog]] with a rainbow-coloured [[afro]]. He is innocent and blameless and always in a good mood. Afro Ken is always willing to try new things. Afro Ken is attracted to objects that look like he does. His hair changes to look like these things as he gets close to them. 
 
There is an Afro Ken Family Tree with other dog characters who have similarly descriptive names, such as Techno Ken, Funky Ken, Lord Ken, Super Afro Ken, and Normal Ken. Unlike the others, Normal Ken does not have wild hair. 

In 2001, [[Bandai Visual]] and [[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]] produced a [[3D computer graphics|3DCG]] [[OVA]] adaptation based on the character. The OVA was also broadcast worldwide by the anime [[satellite television]] network [[Animax]].

Stuffed toys of Afro Ken are available with various, often changeable hairstyles.
