Cocotama

**Cocotama** (ここたま, *Kokotama*) is the name of the fictional species in *Kami-sama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama*, *Kirakira Happy ★ Hirake! Cocotama* and *Mono no Kamisama Cocotama*. They are animal-like magical spirits born from objects that have been used with great care and they are training to become Gods by collect more Happy Stars. They love using magic (by wagging their tails for males or doing a hula dance for females), but sometimes they make mistakes. They like to secretly help humans in many ways, such as by finding items that have gone missing.

Each Cocotama has a tail based on the object they represent and wears pants with a symbol on the front. The underpants look like eggshells. Female Cocotamas have round edges on the rim of their eggshell underpants, and male Cocotamas have jagged edges on the rim of their eggshell underpants. If a Cocotama while being born the item they are being born from get damage, they cannot be born properly until the item is fixed. A Cocotama can act very stubborn and very rude if the item they are being born is neglected (this was the case for the Straytama trio when children stop visiting the park that they lived after a Christmas party was held there years ago).

There are six main Cocotamas in the franchise; three boys and three girls. However, as the series goes on, there are more Cocotamas. They are not meant to be discovered by humans, so when Kokoro Yotsuba finds out about them in the anime, she must agree by contract to keep them a secret as a Cocotama Contractor. Later, it appears out that one more person knows about Cocotamas. A while ago, Nozomi Sakuraisigned a similar contract and then, Hikari Chono who signed a temporary contract, that contract would later become a full contract after her temporary contract has fulfilled. Another contractor named Haruka Hoshinogawa was chosen to be an Legendary Cocotama Contractor, her task is to fulfill its roles on watching over the Cocotamas. The Key of Wonders was made to be a mark of the contractor becoming a Legendary Contractor, which also serves as a device to unlock special buildings for the Cocotamas.

In the anime, all the Cocotamas hatch from white eggs, but in the toy line, they each have their own unique colored eggs. Starting "Hirake! Cocotama" toyline, all unique colored eggs will have the respective character's face on them.
