Opeo

Opeo is a sickly cousin of The Prince in all main Katamari games. In Katamari Damacy, he had a gaping hole in his belly. Since We ♥ Katamari, he has a cast on his left leg. He is able to get sick very easily. His appearance changed in We ♥ Katamari where he has covered his hole and removed bandages from his body. His appearance then again changed in Touch My Katamari were he regained his hole in his belly. He is friends with Macho. As seen in Katamari Damacy Online, Opeo is a remarkable hanger despite his weak strength. To add onto his strength, in Tap My Katamari, he is seen lifting weights as his idle animation. In the webcomic, he is not very smart or liked, and is taken with the group to stop the Roboking by accident. However, he is very kind and innocent, and always wants to help his cousins. His name is either a reference to opioids or "operation."
