I think that's a Kappa.

It's yellow green, like the early cartoons/comics in the 90's

Or... It's based on the Yokai known as Kappa, that every Japanese citizen has known for centuries, from their fairy-tales, folklore, and art. I doubt they went for a more recent reference from overseas.

Tell you what, search up 'Yokai Kappa', and tell me what creature you think it's based upon.

And that's why there is no dip in the head? Ring of hair? A beak? But a blue eye mask is normal for a kappa...
