POCHACOO
Pochacco (ja:ポチャッコ, Pochakko) is drawn as a white dog with black floppy ears, but no visible mouth.[101] Pochacco's name means pocha pocha (chubby). Per official character profiles he was born in Fuwafuwa Town on February 29 in a leap year.[101] He is often portrayed dressed in athletic attire, with a sporty and playful personality.[102][103] He was designed by Minoru Onoue (おのうえ稔), who also designed several other Sanrio characters, including The Vaudeville Duo and Picke Bicke.[104] When Pochacco was first released he was not drawn wearing clothes and his behavior was more dog-like. His popularity increased after the design was changed to show him wearing shirts.[105] Pochacco was number one in the Sanrio Character Rankings from 1991 to 1995.[106][84][81]
Pochacco is a curious little guy who loves going for walks and eating banana ice cream. This sports-minded pup is a great basketball player and a not too shabby soccer goalie too!
