What is that stripey tailed creature saying “hurry” in Japanese?

That is one of the mascots for Anime Vegas that I designed. He was on the staff t-shirts last year. 🙂 He’s, uh, basically Conan as a white tiger cub, but you didn’t hear that from me… Anyway, I call him Rampo. 

I have no idea what they’re doing this year, though. I don’t appear to be on staff anymore… and I can’t go, anyway. o_o
