## Coco

**Coco** (ココ *Koko*) is one of the main supporting characters in the manga *Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch*. She is the Mermaid Princess of the South Pacific Ocean and the owner of the Yellow Pearl. Her debut was marked in Chapter 14 in Gackto's castle.

## History

Coco is the princess of the South Pacific Ocean. Using her Yellow Pearl, she can transform into Yellow Pearl Voice and help fight against evil. Coco is the first princess to be trapped in Gackto's castle.

Coco followed Sara to Gackto's castle because she was worried about Sara's change of heart. When she saw Sara grow close to Gackto, Sara threatened to destroy Coco's kingdom if she did not allow Gackto to capture her.

Coco is a loyal friend and thanks to Coco's feelings of love, Sara was put back on the path to her true self. She seems outspoken and brash at times.

## Personality

Coco is a bright, loving, and caring girl. She is also a fun-loving mermaid and often goes around flirting with boys on the beach. The manga version is much more gentle than her anime counterpart.

One of Coco's most defining traits is her loyalty to her friends, perhaps even loyal to a fault. Prior to the series, she allowed herself to be a prisoner under Gackto after Sara threatened to bring harm to her kingdom. Even after she was rescued late, she still displayed deep guilt for failing to comfort Sara's and her broken heart. She also felt indirectly responsible for allowing Sara's pearl power to spiral out of control. Even after all the time she spent trapped in Gaxkto's castle, Coco's loyalty to Sara never wavered. Her loyalty to Sara would be one key component towards Sara's reformation later on.

## Appearance

Coco has straight, yellow hair in her human form; however in her mermaid and idol form she has light blond hair. In her Human Form she has golden brown eyes, but in her Idol Form and Mermaid Form, she has yellow eyes. Like the other mermaids Coco wears a yellow pendant shaped like a seashell with wings that has her yellow pearl inside it, which she uses to transform into Yellow Pearl Voice.

## Forms and Aspects

Coco has four forms. Her four forms, like all other mermaids are her Human Form, Mermaid Form, Idol Form, and Super Idol Form.

### Human Form

In her human form, Coco's appearance develops into a natural human look. Her long hair became shorter and slightly darker in color. Her eyes also change into a golden brown color. She wears her shell pendant containing her pearl like all the other Mermaid Princesses. She usually wears yellow clothing, most which are showy or flattering to herself.

### Mermaid Form

Her mermaid form follows the trend of all of the other Mermaid Princesses, with two pearl bracelets around her right wrist and her yellow tail. She has long, straight, blond hair with bangs and yellow eyes.

### Idol Form

Lastly, there is her idol form, Yellow Pearl Voice. Her costume is a short golden yellow dress with a high-neck halter top. The dress has a large light yellow stripe in the middle, as well as a short knee-length yellow pleated skirt. It also includes a matching pair of pale yellow high heel boots and light yellow gloves with cuffs.

### Super Idol Form

Coco's Super Idol Form follows the other mermaids' trends. Her dress now has yellow-orange ruffles on the sides, which is accessorized with an yellow-orange bow on the back. Her boots and gloves now have a second pale-yellow layer. The skirt of her dress also appears to be slightly more pleated. Coco does not appear in a mermaid princess gown. Yellow Pearl Voice only has one outfit in the manga, and has received no power-ups.

## Powers

Coco does not have a phrase to transform, she simply just transforms with her own will. Coco can sing to fend off enemies. Once joined with the other mermaid princesses, her voice's power increases. Shee can even do so in her mermaid form and without her pearl.

## Trivia

* Coco's name is deprived from the tropical fruit, Coconut.
* After Sara's death, Coco became (and still currently is) the oldest princess of the group.
* Coco, Sara and Seira are the only mermaid princesses not to appear in their princess outfits.
* All South Pacific mermaids – including Coco – are born on Tuesday. Since Sara is older than Coco, who is herself older than Lucia, we must find the year between the two of them in which August 7 is on Tuesday. With 1973 and 1979 being too early, that means the correct year is 1984, and thus makes Coco around nineteen when she first appears.
* Along with Noel and Caren, she is the only Mermaid Princess to be a prisoner of Gackto.
