**Chiya**, originally known as **Bad Baby** and later as **Johny**, is one of the main characters on *BillionSurpriseToys*. The eldest son of James and Emily, he has three younger siblings in Johny, Dolly, and Zayy (who was likely adopted). However, he predates all of his family, as he was the very first major character to appear on the channel, although all videos of him prior to late 2017 have been long since deleted from the channel, and many are only viewable via internet archives. Prior to the rest of his family being introduced, Chiya was frequently seen with his nameless elder sister.

## Appearance

Chiya was originally a baby with cloudy blue eyes. He was, oddly, referred to as a "baby doll" at points. Over the course of "Season Zero", he became a boy of average height. He is, in "Season Three" and "Four", four years old. He has (now unclouded) blue eyes and an egg-shaped head. Originally bald, Chiya was intermittently shown with fuzzy grey hair of varying shade. Often, however, he would wear a hat, sometimes with animal ears, which meant one could not see if he had any hair. After "Season Two", he was given thicker black hair, though in said season he still sometimes wore a hat. "Season Three" removed any hats and gave him thin orange glasses, apparently without lenses. Finally, "Season Four" messed up his hair. He wore first a nappy, then generally jumpsuits, then began to wear shirts and trousers, as befits a boy of his age.

## Biography

Chiya long predates Johny and the rest of his family, and had previously been seen as the son of the man later named Uncle Bob. Eventually, Emily and James were introduced, and replaced Uncle Bob as his parents. AFter Johny and Dolly took Chiya's place as the main characters, however, the relation became slightly less clear. Chiya is shown at one point with an elderly brown-eyed man who greatly resembles him, presumably a grandfather, and would often meet Johny or Dolly out and about, as though he did not live with them. However, in the "Good Manners Song", Chiya explicitly refers to James and Emily as "dad and mom", confirming that he was their son even before the revamp. It is possible that James and Emily shared custody of Chiya and his sister with someone, perhaps Uncle Bob, explaining the pair's frequent appearances separate from the family even in situations where it would make more sense for them to be together. After the revamp, Chiya became much more prominent, and was very evidently Johny's older brother.

Chiya's role was greatly increased during "Season Two" and "Season Three", where his status as the oldest sibling allowed him to fill the role of voice of reason, leading the younger characters and guiding them. In "Season Four", after such a terrific run the past few "seasons", Chiya suddenly became far less prominent, owing mainly to the favouring of Zayy. More often than not, Johny and Dolly take to Zayy the same role Chiya did to them—the guiding older sibling, and the three go on adventures without Chiya. It is possible that Chiya is often not with them due to being busy with schoolwork or his various projects. It is also possible that he is still in joint custody, and that his absences are when he is with his sister, twin, and Uncle Bob.

## Personality

Originally, Chiya was only a baby, and he was shown to be quite a happy one, as well as being capable of some speech. Later on in "Season Zero", he was shown to be prone to tantrums, and to have a love for ice-cream which would remain throughout the channel. This misbehaviour explains his then (nick)name of "Bad Baby". Chiya did not display much personality as he aged besides the obvious fun-loving nature and losing his immaturity; in fact, he was sometimes shown to be more mature than the others. He did have some mischief left in him, occasionally teasing his siblings, and there was also a slight hint of aggression in his behaviour, such as when he delivered a powerful header to a football in "Johny Johny Yes Papa - REFRIGERATOR Remix", or when he appeared to threaten Poppy with a baseball bat in "Puppy & Babies Song". After "Season Two", whereupon he became a much more established member of the family, as well as being established as older than the other children, Chiya gradually became the most mature and gentle of the younger cast, being the one to settle conflicts and guide the others. He also showed academic merit and intelligence. Seemingly inspired by his old friends IceCream and Gumball Man, Chiya has been seen as an ice-cream man and also building gumball machines, as well as working various other jobs.

## Trivia

* Bizarrely, despite having consistently been a major character for the majority of the channel's existence, Chiya was not listed on the original character page, even though lesser characters like Gumball Man, Uncle Bob, and the bus family were. The only other major character excluded was Henna, who was nowhere near as major as Chiya, and even she was mentioned. Why he was not at all referenced is unclear. He was added when the page was updated for "Season Two", though this did not happen until months after the "season" began.
* In "Listen to our Parents", Chiya imagines himself as a successful graduate whose picture is in the paper. He also imagines that the paper contains an extract from the review in the *Illustrated London News* of W. S. Sullivan's *Dan'l Bruce, Blacksmith*. This could suggest that Chiya has some interest in historical newspapers, or in the works of Gilbert & Sullivan.
* Chiya has an identical twin. Little is known about him, and he has (presumably) not been seen since "Season One".
	+ In fact, "Season Zero" showed that there were many Chiyas. Therefore, which (if any) of them is the one who went on to become a major character cannot be known.
		- It is possible that the many characters resembling Chiya, including Uncle Bob and various adults, are actually all members of some sort of species. It is confirmed in "Learn About Strangers" that not all such characters are related or even known to Chiya.
* Strangely, at least one early video identified him and his sister as "Baby Sister & Mom", suggesting this may have originally been their intended relationship, with Chiya (then "Bad Baby") having been a girl. Alternatively, this could be taken as "Baby, Sister, and Mom" (for Emily also frequently appeared at the time).
* Chiya, Emily, James, and IceCream are the only "Season Zero" characters to have appeared since "Season Two" (although his twin or other lookalikes could theoretically have also appeared).
	+ Chiya is the only member of his family who debuted in 2016, and the only *BillionSurpriseToys* character who debuted in that year to still make appearances on the channel.
* Chiya is a skilled dancer, as shown in "FUNNY Baby Jonhy and Papa - 3D Cartoon Animation for Children". He is versed in several styles.
* In "Season Four", Chiya wears a shirt that reads "Little Pilot", with a picture of an aeroplane. This could suggest that he has aspirations of pursuing such a career.
* It is consistently shown (at least in "Season One") that Chiya's favourite flavour of ice-cream is chocolate, on which he muses, "it's yummy and make me happy".
