The character Coco, depicted as a parrot companion to Leo/Kimba, appears exclusively in the original Jungle Emperor manga and 1965 anime adaptation. Available sources confirm no presence of Coco in the sequel New Jungle Emperor, Go Ahead Leo! (alternately titled Leo the Lion or Susume Leo!), which centers on Leo's adulthood and his son Rune's journey. Production materials, character lists, and plot summaries for the sequel lack any reference to Coco.
