PURPOSE:To provide an original animal-likeness which responds when being talked to by a method where when a sound input to indicate a motion or vocalization is given within a specified period of time after the recognition of a specified word, the motion or sound to correspond to the input is output. CONSTITUTION:In the case of a stuffed animal of dog, a sound which is input from a microphone 1 being provided on the nose is analyzed at a sound analyzing part 2 being provided in the belly, and a sound pattern is created. The sound pattern is compared with standard patterns being previously stored in an identification part 3 which is provided in the belly part, and a signal to the most similar standard pattern is made to be the recognition result, and the signal is transmitted to a driving part 4 or sound synthesizing part 5. Concretely, the identification part 3 selects the most similar standard pattern, and transmits a recognition result to correspond to the selected standard pattern to a specified word judging part, and when the result is a specified word, the specified word judging part transmits the result to an output part. The output part commands an indicating motion to correspond to the specified work to the driving part 4 or sound synthesizing part 5.
