'''Jacob''', named '''Jakey''' in European and Australian versions, is a [[villager]] who first appears in ''[[Dōbutsu no Mori e+]]''. He is a [[bird]] of the [[lazy]] [[personality]]. His Japanese catchphrase "chuuuuurp" is similar to [[Anchovy]]'s. Jacob returns in ''[[Animal Crossing: New Leaf - welcome amiibo]]'', where his added catchphrase "ya feel" is a complementary to [[Wade]]'s "so it goes." Jacob originally appeared on the album cover for [[King K.K.]] before being replaced by [[Jay]], another bird villager.

He shares the same birthday as [[Nan]]. Jacob's name could come from a jay bird, much like another villager named [[Jay]], which connects to its species.

In ''[[Animal Crossing: New Horizons]]'', Jacob may be found reading a book pertaining to an item he is studying, which can be either flowers, bugs, fish, or fossils.

[[File:Jacob shocked.png|thumb|left|150px|Jacob when he's shocked.]]
Jacob is a multi-colored bird. He has a light-green mark on top of his head, which is mostly red, but his cheeks and the bottom-center of Jacob's face are yellow. Jacob's eyebrows are curved similarly to a left-sided arch. Jacob's eyebrows and beak are a grayish blue. The lower part of Jacob's body is red, while his belly is yellow. Jacob has light-green hands. When Jacob gets shocked, his eyes turn red.

== Personality ==
As a [[lazy]] villager, Jacob will be friendly and easy to get along with due to his laid back lifestyle. Like all lazy villagers, he has a love of food and relaxing. He will enjoy partaking in the usual [[Hobbies (New Horizons|hobbies]], usually for relaxing reasons or for food, like when [[fishing]]. Jacob will get along well with other villagers, but may offend or confuse [[jock]] villagers, who have a lifestyle of exercise and fitness, which conflicts with the lazy lifestyle of relaxing and food. He will get along with other [[lazy]] villagers with whom he will talk about food, comics, or superheroes. He will also get along well with [[normal]], [[peppy]], [[smug]], and [[big sister]] villagers, and occasionally cranky villagers, but may from time to time annoy snooty villagers, who disagree with the [[lazy]] lifestyle.
