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 outrageous 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 produced a 3DCG OVA adaptation based on the character. The OVA was also broadcast worldwide by the anime satellite television network Animax.
