Aria Pokoteng, a male Aqua breed cat with snow-white fur and vivid blue eyes, serves as the chubby, 10 kg feline mascot and honorary “president” of Aria Company, a traditional good-luck charm for its gondolier operations. Rescued as a stray two decades before the main story by founder Akina Ametsuchi, his adoption became pivotal to her departure from Himeya Company and the establishment of her own venture. Possessing human-like intellect, Aria comprehends human speech and communicates through expressive mannerisms. His legendary appetite, indulged by doting caretakers Alicia and Akari, fuels his rotund frame and comedic charm.

Playful yet skittish around rival feline mascots, Aria nurses an earnest, unrequited crush on Himeya’s elegant President Hime while fleeing Orange Planet’s President Maa, whose habit of clamping onto his belly incites panic. Though his bumbling antics during company tasks frequently spiral into chaos, his endearing presence and iconic squishable stomach endear him to patrons and colleagues alike. Aria’s static role as a loyal, whimsical fixture underscores his timeless appeal, anchoring the company’s heritage without evolving beyond his established quirks.
