Description
Ambassador Omede is a character from the original anime film ChaO, produced by Studio 4°C and released in 2025. Within the film's futuristic setting where human and merfolk societies coexist, Omede serves as a political representative for the merfolk people. His primary function in this role is to focus on diplomatic efforts, specifically maintaining and promoting the ties between the human and merfolk kingdoms.

The ambassador is portrayed as a character with a distinctly informal and somewhat irreverent demeanor, which contrasts with his official political status. In promotional material for the film, a key trait of Omede is his apparent lack of conventional decorum; one notable scene depicts him picking his nose while officially congratulating the human protagonist Stefan and the mermaid princess Chao on their marriage. This behavior suggests that Omede brings a sense of unexpected, perhaps comic, informality to his high-ranking diplomatic position. His voice actor is the Japanese comedian Cookie!, a member of the comedy duo Yasei Bakudan, which further supports the interpretation that the character injects a comedic or unorthodox presence into the story.

As a character, Ambassador Omede is positioned at the intersection of the two worlds that the film explores. His role as a representative of the merfolk parliament who is dedicated to promoting talks between species places him as a figure of political importance in the narrative. He is present at key ceremonial moments, such as the aforementioned congratulatory scene. His specific relationships with other political figures, such as King Neptunus, the ruler of the merfolk and Chao's father, are not detailed in available information, but his function as a diplomat would naturally involve interaction with the royal court. Similarly, his direct role in the central romance between Stefan and Chao, beyond his ceremonial participation, is not explicitly defined. The full extent of his development throughout the film and any notable abilities he might possess are not elaborated upon in available sources, leaving his character to be largely defined by his official diplomatic mission and his displayed lack of formal manners. The film's release in August 2025 means comprehensive details about his narrative arc remain to be seen.
