Dr. Kochin

is Dr. Wheelo's assistant and a self-professed expert in biotechnology.
==Appearance==
Dr. Kochin appears as a very elderly, gray-skinned man with a misshapen head and male patterned baldness; he also has a nearly toothless mouth. Dr. Kochin's main attire consists of a typical lab coat over a brown dress shirt, red tie with a silver clip, black dress pants, and brown dress shoes. He is also seen carrying a small, blue, drill-like cane.
Near the end of the film, it is revealed that Dr. Kochin is a simple metallic robot with no defining features whatsoever.
==Personality==
Dr. Kochin is the definition of a mad scientist, a man who is more interested in creating his own experiments despite the danger to the world that they carry instead of using his intellect and resources for mankind's benefit.
In Dokkan Battle, he is referred to with the moniker Devil Doctor indicating that he is infamous for his evil experiments and proud of them. He is also willing to team up with fellow Android Scientist Dr. Gero and his remaining Red Ribbon Androids to take on Future Trunks and the Time Patrol in the dimensional distorted version of Earth.
==Biography==
===Dragon Ball Z===
====The World's Strongest====
Dr. Kochin is the one who saved Dr. Wheelo from death and transformed him into a cyborg. Kochin, along with Wheelo, also created the three Bio-Warriors: Kishime, Misokatsun and Ebifurya. He later gathers the Dragon Balls and uses his wish to free Dr. Wheelo from his icy prison in the Tsurumai-Tsuburi Mountains after fifty years. Dr. Kochin captures and brainwashes Piccolo while the latter was training on the Tsurumai-Tsuburi Mountains thanks to his Bio-Warriors, and he later kidnaps Bulma and Master Roshi at Kame House with the Bio-Men's help. 
Dr. Kochin spends the remainder of his time inside Dr. Wheelo's Fortress, commanding the actions of the bio-fighters from the control room. The first evidence that Kochin is more than he seems comes when he attempts to kill Krillin. He lifts his arm and the skin on his hand rips away, revealing a mechanical hand underneath, which then transforms into a rotating machine gun. His gunfire damages some of the equipment powering the force field which holds Bulma prisoner, freeing her, but also leaving her open to attack. As Kochin takes aim, Master Roshi attacks him and knocks his gun-arm off by unknown means.
‎Literally disarmed, Kochin stands back and watches in shock as Dr. Wheelo begins wrenching his giant mechanical body free from the laboratory wall. As he steps out onto the laboratory platform, Wheelo's giant foot accidentally knocks Kochin off the edge and he falls down from the main shaft. As he falls, his body gets too close to the glowing dais which supports the laboratory above, and bolts of electricity arc out and strike Kochin's body, causing his clothing and skin to burn away, revealing a robot underneath. He mutters Dr. Wheelo's name, before exploding in midair.

Even though he appears old and harmless, Dr. Kochin is actually well-equipped for fighting: his hand can transform into a machine gun, while his cane, which bears a stylized headpiece of Shenron, can hurl energy blasts.

*Also unexplained are the events surrounding his death. Precisely why the dais glowed like they did and shot out bolts of electricity when the falling Kochin drifted too close is never explained. Most likely, this was caused by Wheelo, who was powering up. Another possibility is the energy flowing through dais was attracted to Kochin's metal body underneath his exo-skin.
*The fact the handle of his cane is designed to resemble Shenron hints at a fifty-year obsession with the Dragon Balls.
*Dr. Kochin's name comes from the Nagoya Cochin, a regional variant of the . This is part of a theme with the rest of the villains from The World's Strongest being named after food from the city of Nagoya, Japan.
