Movie
Description
Aria Pokoteng is the feline mascot and president of Aria Company. An Aqua breed cat, he is larger and possesses human-level intelligence compared to Earth cats, enabling him to understand human speech. His distinctive features include blue eyes and a notably large, soft stomach. Originally a stray, he was taken in by Aria Company's founder, Akino Ametsuchi ("Grandma"), roughly two decades before the main events, establishing the blue-eyed cat tradition for undine company mascots.
He exhibits a strong fondness for food, resulting in a chubby physique further encouraged by doting care from Alicia Florence and Akari Mizunashi. His personality blends comedic and affectionate traits, frequently manifesting as a hopeless romantic pursuit of President Hime from Himeya Company. Conversely, he displays pronounced fear toward President Maa of Orange Planet due to her habit of biting his stomach. Despite his weight, he remains physically active, qualifying as acrofatic. As a non-human sidekick, he frequently interferes in daily operations.
Throughout the franchise, his narrative function centers on providing lighthearted moments. He facilitates supernatural encounters, such as guiding Akari to locations where she interacts with lingering spirits or temporal phenomena. His attempts to woo President Hime consistently fail. President Maa's jaw-latching behavior toward him implies an unrequited precocious crush from her side, though he perceives it only as aggression.
In later installments like *Aria the Benedizione*, set amid Neo-Venezia's winter, he maintains his established characteristics. While the film explores Himeya Company's legacy through a repaired gondola intended for Aika S. Granzchesta, Aria Pokoteng's involvement remains tangential to this central plot. His interactions continue to emphasize his fear of President Maa and persistent, unsuccessful courtship of President Hime.
Mythologically, he connects to broader lore as part of Aqua's mystical feline hierarchy. He is occasionally referenced in relation to Cait Sith, the supernatural King of Cats, though their direct relationship is not detailed. His founding role with Grandma remains his most significant historical contribution, enduring as a symbol of Aria Company's identity.
