A frog (カエル, kaeru) that appears in the first part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Phantom Blood. It makes the onomatopoeia Memetaa! (メメタァ) when Will Anthonio Zeppeli punches it to first demonstrate the power of the Ripple to Jonathan Joestar.
The sound effect's unique nature has resulted in the frog becoming referenced in media and merchandise in and outside of the series.

03Story
SPOILERS
Phantom Blood
While explaining Sendo, Zeppeli brings Jonathan and Erina to a small river and directs their attention to a frog sitting on a rock. Zeppeli walks into the shallow river and takes a deep breath as energy begins to form around his feet, and unusual ripples in the water begin to emanate from where he stands.↗↗
Zeppeli explains that the ripples on the water are similar to how breathing makes ripples in the body. Using this ripple, one can create an energy called the Ripple that can be transferred to other objects. With that said, Zeppeli suddenly throws his fist towards the frog and lands a direct blow to its back. Jonathan and Erina are surprised as the strike splits the rock the frog was sitting on down the middle, yet the frog remains completely unharmed.↗↗
