Elizabeth is the white, duck-like companion who almost always accompanies Katsura Kotaro in Gintama, the long-running Japanese comedy anime adapted from Hideaki Sorachi's manga. Despite rarely speaking, Elizabeth has become a fan favourite because of his deadpan presence and strange, minimal reactions. Short clips of the character have circulated on soundboards and in anime edits, where the brief noise works as an instant in-joke for viewers who recognise him. It stays popular because it is short, instantly recognisable to fans and easy to drop into almost any funny moment.
