He has a mild clown aesthetic to his design, mainly in the form of hints of bright colors and patterns.
=== Controversial ===
Easily one of the franchises' most controversial characters, with people either loving or hating him for his antagonistic nature, gray morality, and complex motives.
=== Distinctive Voice ===
Both his Japanese and English give him a high pitched and energetic voice, with the former emphasizing on his childish personality while the latter does with his more sinister one.

=== Unkempt ===
His hair looks like the way it does from being played with, and his clothes are notably torn and ragged.
=== Viont ===
While he claims to hate murder and technically never does so himself, he's guilty of incitement of murder by making Gonta kill Miu for his own self preservation while also making everyone believe he was the mastermind as means of mercy killing them all.
== Fanon Tropes ==
=== Theme Song ===
While not canon, has a very popular fan song, available here.
I'm Gonna Live Till I Die by Frank Sinatra is also commonly associated with Ouma, as someone who was thought to be him sings it during one of the class trials. While it is later revealed that it was someone else pretending to be him, it was still sung in his voice.
== Fanon Reception ==
Despite Kokichi's backstory not being explained within canon content, many fans portray him as having been bullied, abused by his parents, or otherwise mistreated in the past, to the point where some people believe this to be his canonical backstory.
