Ponyo is a goldfish born from the sea goddess Granmamare and a human named Fujimoto. She is known to love Sousuke and ham.
Ponyo is an extrovert, tending to go outside when her father is distracted doing his magic.  She also pleased when Sosuke finds her while he is playing by the sea by his house and frees her from a jar, and she repays him by licking his cut, and they bond and become friends.
Ponyo does not like her father at first, which is why she runs away from home at the start of the movie, and she is also rambunctious, causing trouble around the house after Sosuke adopts her.  Soon, she abandons magic and decides to live by Sosuke's side as a part of his family. She is a fish at first but becomes more humanlike when Sosuke cuts his finger and she licks his cut, healing him.

== Trivia ==
* According to Miyazaki, Ponyo isn't an actual name but what you call something cute or squishy.
* Ponyo's favorite food is ham.
* Ponyo is in love with Sōsuke.
* Since her father is a human and her mother is a goddess, it is possible though unclear that Ponyo is considered a demi-goddess. This also corresponds with Brunhilde, the namesake of Ponyo, to be a demi-god in mythology.
* Ponyo's role is partially inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Little Mermaid.
* Ponyo also shares a similar concept to Little Memole, a Japanese anime from 1984 and 1985.
* Ponyo's birth name and the music playing as she rides the waves to Sosuke is a reference to Richard Wagner's opera Die Walküre where Valkyrie is a demi-goddess.
* The sequence in which Ponyo offers food to the mother and baby was written in to show that she could be selfless and live in the human world. Hayao Miyazaki developed the scene late in production, when he was stuck on how to end the film.
