My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari No Totoro)

A main-belt asteroid that was discovered on December 31, 1994, was named 10160 Totoro.[77] In 2013, Eoperipatus totoro, a species of velvet worm that was discovered in Vietnam, was named after Totoro. Following the request of the paper's authors, the species was named for the character because he "uses a many-legged animal as a vehicle, which according to the collectors resembles a velvet worm".[78]
