Character name confusion
Alfred J. Kwak is known for having more than 250 characters[1][2][3], which is a higher than average number for a cartoon series. Unfortunately, this also results in a lot of character confusion. This page goes over all the instances of character name confusion.
Same name confusion
This is a list of characters that have the same name.
- Snel de Snoek and Snel de Haas share the same name. However on their character sheets only the first one is called Snel. The yellow bunny is actually called Hannes Haas. However that's another instance of a character sharing a name, namely Hannes Snater. Both of these instances are very likely by accident.
Characters mistaken for other characters by the production
This is a list of times characters that look slightly the same are confused for other characters.
- In Dutch books and other production materials, Kaspar Rokodil is named frequently instead of Alfons Rokodil. For example in De wonderlijke avonturen van Alfred J. Kwak: het grote voorleesboek, De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen and De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak all mention Kaspar Rokodil as being the financier of Groot Speelgoedland, while the designs show Alfons Rokodil. There are two character designs in Character- and Color-Designs for Alfred J. Kwak, one is called "A. Rokodil" (11/1), whose skin is a more grayish tone, and another is called "K. Rokodil" (82/12), who has a darker shade of green. The first one appears in episode 1, episode 2 and episode 12, while the second one appears regularly from episode Episode 14. In the animated series Alfons Rokodil is likely the mayor of Polderstad, while Kaspar Rokodil is stated to be the mayor of Waterslag aan Zee.
