Dokin-chan is an orange-red germ character featuring a single antenna and a long tail. Her white facial elements include green eyes, small red cheeks and nose, plus an orange stripe extending to her nose; she wears pink shoes. She identifies as female and boasts of being the cutest individual in the world. Her personality blends selfishness, demanding behavior, childishness, and greed, though she sometimes shows kindness, especially towards Shokupanman. She acts as Baikinman's partner in crime, frequently bossing him around to fetch items, food, or people. During confrontations, she is often the first to flee when facing defeat.
Her background establishes her as Baikinman's assistant, sharing a complex dynamic. While typically rude and commanding towards him, she harbors underlying care. She developed an intense romantic obsession with Shokupanman after meeting him in "Anpanman and the bread thief," pursuing extreme measures for his affection. Her living space displays numerous Shokupanman posters and plush toys, and she often daydreams about romantic scenarios with him. Kokin-chan is her younger sister; they share a sibling relationship marked by both camaraderie and rivalry, primarily over their mutual affection for Shokupanman.
Dokin-chan utilized a specialized staff with two distinct ends: one for enlarging objects and the other for reducing their size. This tool saw limited use in episodes before being phased out. She also operates a pink UFO featuring yellow-tipped hands, primarily using it for non-combat tasks like transporting flowers or baskets, though she has employed it to hold hostages for Baikinman's schemes.
In the film *Eiga Soreike! Anpanman Fuwafuwa Fuwari to Kumo no Kuni*, Dokin-chan interacts with Fuwari, a cloud infant from Cloud Country. After Baikinman's group encounters Fuwari, she names the cloud child and develops a significant attachment as Fuwari rapidly matures. This bond forms during efforts to save Cloud Country, the source of rain and rainbow-distributing clouds vital for plant health globally.
Her behavioral patterns involve manipulative tactics to achieve goals, particularly concerning Shokupanman. Examples include attempting injury to create nursing opportunities and orchestrating elaborate traps to lure him into isolation. She has used deceptive strategies like feigning art-themed events to engage him as a model, monopolizing his attention. Despite antagonistic tendencies, isolated incidents such as cooperatively building a raft with Currypanman during confinement demonstrate situational capacity for teamwork.
Her name variations across international dubs are "Dokeen" (English Tubi dub), "Spark" (Cinar dub and TMS Entertainment website), "红精灵" (Chinese dub, translating to "red lips"), and "짤랑" (Korean dub, meaning "jingle").
