Movie
Description
Kokin-chan is a bright blue germ with a red bow on her antenna. Her white facial features include green eyes, a pink nose, and circular pink cheeks. She has white hands, teal boots, and a small tail. As the younger sister of Dokin-chan, she arrived on Earth inside a transportable egg, like Baikinman and her sister. She initially traveled by crashing this egg into locations, frequently disrupting Baikinman's base during visits to Dokin-chan and sparking sibling conflicts. These clashes usually concluded with her returning to the Baikin Planet or Baikin Base alongside Dokin-chan.
Kokin-chan possesses the ability to fake cry, producing potent blue tears. Anyone contacting these tears experiences uncontrollable crying, immobilizing them through overwhelming emotion. She uses this power defensively and to create distractions or mischief. Her personality is self-centered and bossy; she pursues her own desires without considering others' feelings or instructions. Despite this, she shows loyalty and will assist friends in need, revealing an underlying sense of justice. Her relationship with Dokin-chan is complex, marked by jealousy and frequent arguments, though merchandise sometimes depicts them getting along.
She debuted in the 2006 animated short "Kokin-chan to Aoi Namida." Her arrival and tear-induced disruptions affected heroes and villains until Dokin-chan intervened, establishing two backstories: one where she emerges from an egg crashing onto Baikinman during an attack on Anpanman, and another aligning with her film introduction. In the Christmas special "Kokin-chan and the Tearful Christmas," her actions caused initial chaos, but she later helped save the town by countering dark tears created by Baikinman and Dokin-chan using her own ability. Following this, she acquired a personal UFO named the Blue Tears, replacing her transport egg.
A significant development occurred in the 2014 short "Tanoshiku Teasobi Mama ni Natta Kokin-chan!?" when she discovered an egg that hatched into a caterpillar named Tefutefu. Tefutefu instantly identified Kokin-chan as her mother, compelling Kokin-chan to adopt a caregiving role. This involved singing and dancing with other characters as Tefutefu matured, showcasing a shift towards responsibility and nurturing. In the 2015 movie "Mija to Mahō no Lamp," Kokin-chan and Creampanda found a mysterious lamp releasing a magical spirit, Mija. Using Mija's magic, they entered the lamp's world, but a broken magical bracelet trapped them. Their journey to reach a magical fountain for repairs was hindered by constant arguing. During their subsequent rescue by Anpanman and others, Baikinman arrived to exploit the lamp's power, creating further conflict.
Kokin-chan ranked 3rd in a character popularity poll for the series' 30th anniversary. Her Chinese dub name, 蓝精灵 (Lán jīnglíng), translates to "blue spirit" or "smurf." Across her appearances, she evolves from a disruptive figure reliant on her tear-based powers to a character capable of cooperation and caregiving, particularly with Tefutefu and during group challenges like those in the magic lamp world.
