In K-ON!, Ritsu found a doll (belonging to Mio) of an old man who's almost
bald with a huge nose.

If I'm not mistaken, it was shown when they were cleaning their club room.

2, episode 2, 4:54)

Who is that old man doll? Was that doll based from a real person or from
another anime or just a random creation from K-ON! itself?

question
k-on
What character is Mio's doll from?


[This](http://yuaayua.blog112.fc2.com/blog-entry-246.html) Japanese blog says
it's a plush of "ウゴウゴルーガ" (Ugo Ugo Ru-ga).

I'm personally not familiar with the show, but the it strongly resembles おやじむし
(Oyajimushi), which I think is an "insect father"? Whatever that means.

Searching further, [this](http://cyobin.blog10.fc2.com/blog-entry-1552.html)
blog and [this](http://plaza.rakuten.co.jp/shirakawakaido/diary/201003220000/)
site agree.

[Here](http://blogc.fujitv.co.jp/simg/blogimg/9aab7/90025/52663_pcl.jpg)'s a
picture of a plush doll that looks virtually identical, except for the nose
being quite a bit longer.

And

a Google search with multiple images for "おやじむし ウゴウゴルーガ" (Oyajimushi Ugo Ugo
Ru-ga).

Among the images, there is one image from Amazon showing the manga where this
character originates from:

The manga is titled [**おやじむしの人生
