Japas is a character in Majora's Mask.[1]
Biography[]
Japas is the bass player of the Zora band, The Indigo-Go's.[2] He and Mikau, the guitarist, like to write and compose their own music, but Evan, the bandleader and songwriter, always condemns them for doing so.[3][4] If Link, as Zora Link, reads Mikau's Diary, he will learn a new riff written by them. He can then play it in a Jam Session with Japas, who will complete the song.[5] If the Hero of Time plays the full song for Evan, he will receive a Piece of Heart. This is the same song that is played during the band's rehearsal and their eventual performance at the Carnival of Time.[6]
He is last seen during the ending credits where he and the rest of the band members are performing at the Milk Bar for the Carnival of Time.
