Franklin is a character from the Animal Crossing series of games.
He has appeared in almost every game, except for Animal Forest and Animal Crossing: Wild World. He appears during the Harvest Festival and usually is paranoid, hiding behind objects, since he thinks that he will be served for the main course. However, in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, he is the one doing the cooking and asks for some ingredients. If the player brings him the ingredients, he will reward them with a piece of furniture.
