OVA
Description
Kocchi is a stray kitten sporting distinctive black-and-white markings: a predominantly white coat, black front legs, a black rear half, and a distinctive black patch covering one ear and partially over one eye, accentuating his expressive face. He has a short tail and sharp eyes. While the black patch consistently appears on the left side of his face in most media, early manga depictions occasionally show it on the right.
Chi first encounters him near a park fountain, where his territorial instincts surface as he tries to drive her away from his perceived domain. Though initially rough, bossy, and sometimes rude, playful interactions with Chi gradually reveal a softer, caring side beneath his gruff exterior. He develops a protective bond with Chi, often guiding her and offering help. The older cat Blackie recognizes him as a hard worker.
Kocchi's background involves significant hardship. He originally lived in a box in the park with his siblings until humans took them away, leaving him alone. This loss fuels his initial distrust and territorial nature. His deep familial loyalty is evident in his devotion to his brother, White-White. After children adopt White-White, Kocchi waits faithfully for his return. Temporarily staying with a woman named Miwa, who provides food, shelter, and care, he appreciates her kindness but ultimately leaves to search for White-White. Their reunion highlights Kocchi's protective nature and loyalty; he ensures White-White is safe and well-cared for in his new home before departing, despite the pain of separation.
Beyond his connections with Chi and White-White, Kocchi maintains friendships with Ann, Diplo (whom he views as uniquely cool), and Terry. His interactions with Blackie remain limited but amicable. His name varies slightly across adaptations; in some English-language releases like "Chi's Sweet Adventure," he is called "Come-Come," referencing a scene where a woman urges him to approach her. This alternate name aligns with the meaning of "Cocchi" in Japanese, translating to "come here."
Kocchi appears across the original manga, the OVA "Chi and Cocchi Meet," "Chi's Sweet Adventure," "Chi's Sweet Adventures," and "Chi's Sweet Summer Vacation," consistently maintaining his core traits while demonstrating gradual emotional openness through his relationships.
