Kaori Hakase

**Kaori Hakase** (葉加瀬カオリ), also known as **Dr. Kaori** (ドクトルカオリ), is an ally in Cap Revolution Bottleman DX. She is voiced by Akira Sekine.

## Description

Kaori is a 12-year-old active girl who makes full use of her Bottleman, and proclaims herself as a genius Bottleman engineer. Although originally hitting off with Cota with a rocky beginning, due to her over-zealousness and obsessiveness regarding Bottlemen research, she gradually becomes Cota's friend.

She invents Docpepion DX for herself, and also gives Cota Speed Core and Control Core for Colamaru DX. She later helps Cota repair Colamaru DX although she can only fix it into its base form, but is surprised when Colamaru DX is upgraded into Colamaru Energy DX.

She later joins with other BMA supporters against B-DACT and later Team Citrus. She also gives Tsubasa Akaushi wing parts for Raidbrave DX afterwards.

She starts working for Machiko Hocari, whom she idolizes, afterwards. When Machiko is knocked out by Seimei Usami, Kaori joins the fight and watches Cota battle against Ayata, Roland and Shiman, but get eliminated after she gets too excited and attempts joining the fight.

She also invents special metal caps for Cota and Ryo, who have to defeat the AI, for them to defeat Blastboss, though she takes much of Professor Rootbeer's credits for herself. She is last seen cheering for Cota and Ryo with their friends and rivals after the AI crisis is over.

## Appearance

Kaori has eyes of purple and pink hues, and her hair is dark purple with magenta tint. She also wears dark eyeshadows. On her left ear, she has an earpiece, and also a green heart shaped earring. Her fingers are polished with green nail polishes. Around her neck is a black choker.

Her attire consists of a dark pink crop-top with white accents and dark purple strapped garment, donned with a heart shaped trinket. She also wears a pair of black trousers with white belt, and two large white and pink pockets. Her boots are black, laced with green straps and soles.

## Personality

Kaori is a diligent and intelligent hard-worker, although she can be too obsessed with data collection even if it means she breaches someone's rights. She is also resourceful and knows how to harness any data to her advantage. She is playful while also smug, and loves to tease and brag about herself, but can get snappy when others offend her. However, she is still a loyal friend to the core, who will help her companions when they are in need of her help.

Despite her smartness, Kaori can get too overconfident about her knowledge or overexcited about the prospect of gaining new data, and tends to get distracted easily.

## Bottleman

Kaori's Bottleman is Docpepion DX, a speed-type Bottleman with the motif of the Scorpio constellation.

Before Docpepion's completion in Episode 10, Kaori appears to have two other Bottlemen. One being a power-type with indigo, light yellow and green coloring used in Episode 02 and 03, while the other is a speed-type with violet, light blue and red coloring used in Episode 05. Neither of these two Bottlemen are officially named.

## Trivia

### Background

* Her name comes from Dr Pepper, an American brand of carbonated soft drink.
	+ Her surname Hakase (葉加瀬) is a homophone for the word for "doctor" (博士) in Japanese, befitting the "doctor" in Dr Pepper, and her profession as a talented engineer.

### Notes

* In her beta concept, Kaori's hair was shorter, and she wore a pair of extra goggles. She also wore an outfit that showed her midriff.
* A running gag involves Kaori getting all excitable when collecting data from different Bottleman.
* Side Story episode 6 revealed she is infamously wanted at the BMA Museum for having dissembled Bottleman in exhibitions, which has gotten her into trouble such as being forced to wear "excitement measurement" devices as surveillance.
	+ However, by the time of Side Story episode 8, she has learned how to remove the meters from herself, and force them onto the Black Suits instead.
