Pocoyo (character)

"Pocoyo" is the titular main protagonist of his TV series namesake. He is a 4-year-old human boy who has animal friends, as well as another human named Nina. He used to also be the deuteragonist on Ian's channel, but nowadays is a minor character.

## History

Pocoyo, along with the rest of his friends, originally debuted back in December 2020 when Ian announced in a now deleted video that he would bring Pocoyo to his channel. This sparked some controversy, as Kaio Gabriel, another friend of Ian, would say his channel is in a dark age because of it. This caused him to quit YouTube, and when he returned, Pocoyo was later replaced by Bob the Builder.

Pocoyo later returned in April 2021, where he would be the secondary protagonist on Ian's channel, along with Red. Pocoyo had a lot of videos relating to his show, including a rant of Pocoyo House. Pocoyo's characters would also be seen in the 2021 banner along with the Angry Birds.
Several months later, they met Om Nom, who also was a character on Ian's channel too. Pocoyo, Red and Om Nom would all be in the December 2021 banner. However, they were all devastated when Ian removed all of his videos, as well as being kicked off Ian's channel.

Ever since Pocoyo was removed, he didn't make any major appearences in 2022. Although he was mostly a cameo character or mentioned in some videos.

In November 2023, Pocoyo and his friends finally made a major appearance in the video, "Why the newer Pocoyo is such a disappointment to watch...." where it is revealed that the reason why Pocoyo didn't appear much on Ian's channel is because Ian wasn't interested in his show anymore, mainly due to how much it went downhill during season 4 and there being many bad episodes, such as "Pocoyo's World Sports Games", "The Big Match" and "Pocoyo the Policeman". This could likely be why Pocoyo is only a minor character nowadays.

## Personaility

Being a young child, Pocoyo tends to be very childish. He doesn't understand much and when unhappy or angry, will throw a tantrum or storm off in a huff. He is also very innocent and simply does not know any better yet, but learns something new every day to help him out. He can be irrational sometimes and take his anger out on the wrong people, but he is also very affectionate and caring towards others and shows it often. He can be sneaky and wise when he wants to be, but he is always seen as cute by everyone.

## Appearance

Pocoyo is a little human child with big black eyes. He wears a blue three-flap hat, a blue jacket with a yellow zipper, and a pair of blue pants and shoes.
