Daikarin

The Great Daikarin singing on stage.

Daikarin is a transsexual cougar woman who plays a major role in Furry Fight Chronicles as the trainer of Muko and Kalita. Back when she was a man called Paipu Katto, Daikarin personally trained the Doable Dolls, making them the best idol group and the Ankyono Champions of 1996.

## Background

Daikarin was initially born male, under the name of Paipu Katto. She studied dancing and wrestling. This made her the perfect trainer for the Doable Dolls, a pair of idol singers who also wanted to be Combagals. Paipu gave Snuggly and Sleepy vigorous training, driving them to tears with each session. However, in 1996, a year after their debut, the Doable Dolls became the most famous idols of the nation and the Ankyono Champions.

At the Epic Pop Dance Off, Paipu expressed pride in Snuggly for doing a solo song rather than let Sleepy's absence destroy their career. Wanting to help his student, Paipu put on Sleepy's dress and sang besides Snuggly. Because of Paipu's masculine appearance, the crowd gave Snuggly a score of zero, disgusted at her partner being a crossdresser. Snuggly had a breakdown backstage where she badmouthed the crowd and Paipu. Realizing that Snuggly's mic was still on, Paipu snatched it from Snuggly, hoping to stop the damage.

Sadly, the crowd heard Snuggly's insults and promptly turned against her. Borsha, the manager of the Doable Dolls, fired Paipu, blaming him for Snuggly's breakdown. Despite the events of the Epic Pop Dance Off, Paipu loved playing on stage. He eventually transitioned into a woman, adopting Daikarin as his new identity.

## Personality

Daikarin is a strict yet loving teacher. Regardless of whether she was male or female, Daikarin gave her students tough training regimens and reacted with pride when they succeeded. Even when adopting Muko and Kalita as her new students, Daikarin still cares about the Doable Dolls, feeling guilty for their break up. Her condition to train Team Starkiller was to help Snuggly and Sleepy make a comeback.

Being a performer, Daikarin tends to make dramatic laughing when in the ring. She also changes costumes when training Muko and Kalita. A true professional, Daikarin believes in the "show must go on" mindset. She was proud of Snuggly trying to sing alone when Sleepy couldn't make it to the Epic Pop Dance Off. She's also the only one who believes that Cookie made the right choice when she made her Fortune Gals fight at Trilamity Day despite Freydar being in a coma, pointing out that Cookie gave the fans hope through entertainment.

As Paipu Katto, Daikarin was a lot stricter, making her students cry in their sessions whereas Muko and Cookie were just exhausted. She also had a hidden selfishness that she didn't realize until later, having put on Sleepy's dress and sang with Snuggly because deep down she wanted to be on stage.

## Appearance

Being a male to female transsexual, Daikarin is a female who has physical traits of her former male self. She's a very large and muscular cougar with sharp features. The main difference lies in Daikarin wearing make-up, extravagant dresses, and blonde hair.

As Paipu Katto, Daikarin has short black hair with a goatee. She was also dressed like a dancer.

## Abilities

### Performer

Daikarin is a professional performer due to her many years studying the music industry. She can dance, sing, and act to entertain the masses.

### Training Skills

As a trainer, Daikarin is one of the best ones regarding furry fighting and idol singing. As Paipu Katto, she personally trained the Doable Dolls, making them the best idol group and the Ankyono Champions of 1996. Even after retiring for a year, Daikarin still retained her teaching skills. Cookie believed that Muko could defeat Kalita in their third duel if Daikarin trained her for a few days. Likewise, Cookie decides to take Freydar's challenge to fight her Combagals because she believes that Daikarin can teach Team Starkiller to defeat two Combagals that are as strong or stronger than the Tendonchi Champions.

## History

### Act 1

#### Part 3

##### The New Trainer

While training Muko, Cookie found a poster of Daikarin and decided to hire her as a trainer to prepare Muko for her fight with Kalita. Due to Kalita agreeing to join them anyway, Cookie postponed the meeting with **Daikarin** to do some promotions. After seeing Freydar's challenge at Ida's workshop, Cookie takes Muko and Kalita to a bar.

At the bar, Cookie shares Daikarin's past as Paipu Katto, explaining her relationship with the Doable Dolls. After convincing Daikarin to join them, Cookie decides to have a Heel image while her Combagals become Team Starkiller, a new team of Heel Combagals. After Team Starkiller defeats the Re-Doable Dolls, Daikarin carries Cookie to the stage and announces her return. She announces that she will take Team Starkiller to the L'Asagne Farm to start their training so that they can defeat Freydar's Combagals in the next month.

#### Part 4

##### Visiting The L'Asagne Farm

Daikarin goes in a truck with the rest of Team Starkiller to reach the L'Asagne Farm. Upon reaching, Daikarin shows Muko the Fortune Factory, informing Muko that Cookie forged legends there. Daikarin informs Muko that Cookie made her Fortune Gals fight at the three calamities a day after Freydar fell in a coma. When Cookie expresses her self-loathing for her actions, Daikarin consoles her, telling Cookie that she did the right choice. She points out that Cookie brought hope through entertainment, making Cookie cry at Daikarin's words.

Daikarin shows the ring to Muko and Kalita, which they steal and bring back to Monyan. Once the group gets permission to put the ring at the roof of Monyan, Daikarin declares it to be the perfect place to begin the training. She then tasks Team Starkiller to carry the pieces of the ring upstairs and to build it on their own.

##### Training Team Starkiller

While Muko and Kalita built the ring, Daikarin had a costume change. Once the duo succeeds with the ring, Daikarin smacks a cigarette out of Kalita's mouth, telling her to take care of her health. She then orders them to get changed, as they will begin their training exercises. Daikarin makes Muko and Kalita work on their footwork by making them practice the Carioca and the shuffle.

As Ida talks with Cookie about why Daikarin agreed to train her Combagals, Daikarin admits that she's doing it for redemption. She mentions how the breakup of the Doable Dolls happened because of her selfishness, as she realized that she didn't help Snuggly because she cared but because she wanted to be on stage, and that ruined her students' careers. She resolved to train Team Starkiller in the condition that, once they become the Tendonchi Champions, they will face the Re-Doable Dolls in a rematch that will help them make their comeback.

Daikarin has Muko and Kalita take turns using slams on each other. When Muko expresses reluctance, Daikarin orders Kalita to give her a body slam to get rid of the fear. She then expresses surprise and approval at Kalita's technique, realizing that she had prior furry fight training before. As Daikarin and the others notice Muko falling asleep, Daikarin declares their first training session to be a success.

##### Watching The Match

Once the Cookie Crumble Match arrives, Daikarin arrives with Team Starkiller to Munes Arena. She hugs Muko and Kalita, telling them to do their best. She then goes back to the Sanpion District, where she is shocked that Sephario returned to fight Team Starkiller.

##### Engagement, Adoption, and Reconciliation

After the defeat of Team Starkiller, Daikarin went to find Cookie, who sunk to alcoholism. She helped Cookie recover, comforting the squirrel as she cried about the outcome of the match, helping her surpass her alcoholism, and talking about her past traumas. The two fell in love and agreed to marry each other. During the two days of the match, they found out that Kalita was an orphan when Shun Gonfano bought Yoko Orphanage to take care of the orphans with the help of the Cyclone Crushers.

The two of them visited Kalita with Daikarin hugging the vixen after waking up. The two then told Kalita what happened during her absence and offer to adopt Kalita. Despite Kalita being shocked, Daikarin smugly points that she and Cookie can adopt Kalita because Daikarin never registered her sex change, so she is still considered male by the legal system. Though they leave the room to let Kalita process what's going on, Kalita leaves the room and accepts to be adopted by them.

After Kalita is discharged, Daikarin attends the Toco Niku, where it is shown that she supervises Cookie to prevent her from relapsing into alcoholism and that she also wants him to reconcile with her father. As the group talks about their future plans, Daikarin confronts Snuggly outisde, asking the poodle if she was the one who gave Sleepy those laxatives at the Epic Pop Dance Off. An ashamed Snuggly admits her role in Sleepy's misfortune, feeling disgusted at herself for being selfish and apologizing to Daikarin for the transphobic insults that she told her back when she was Paipu Katto. Daikarin then forgives Snuggly while letting her know that she should tell Sleepy the truth so that they can move over.

The following day, Daikarin shows Team Starkiller an ice cream truck that she had personalized into a Combagal truck. Daikarin boards the truck with her friends and then says goodbye to the Redoable Dolls and her bar boss. Having said her final goodbyes, Daikarin and her newfound family leave Botaun as they prepare to go to the L'Asagne Farm to start their furry fighting journey across Concatta.
