### Debut

"Jack And Jill"

**Taku Charlie**, more commonly known as **Baby Taku**, is one of the main protagonists of *ChuChu TV*. Specifically, he is the main protagonist of *Baby Taku's World*, a sub-series on the channel since 2023. Not content with having him usurp his sister ChuChu as the star, the channel later inserted him into the other series, *Jumblikans*, usurping the titular organisation as well.

## Appearance

Baby Taku is a short boy with brown hair in a Tintinesque quiff. His eyes are brown as well, and he has a few teeth, most notably both his incisors. Originally, Taku was generally seen almost exclusively in his pyjamas, which are green and blue and decorated with pictures of toys and, oddly, baby clothes. Later on, he began to be seen more often in his day clothes, blue denim dungarees over a turquoise shirt. In either outfit he wears blue shoes with chartreuse lacing. Bizarrely, in "Beach at Home Song", "Circus Song" and from "The Rainbow Party" onwards, his eyebrows are abnormally thick. Why exactly this alteration of his design occurred is not known.

Originally, Taku had a thin layer of sandy-coloured hair. Whether this old design is considered canonical and he simply grew more hair or this is a retcon is unknown, though "Baby's First Steps Song" implies the latter, as he is shown first learning to walk with his redesigned hairstyle, whereas the sandy-haired Taku could walk with seeming proficiency (although this was inconsistent; sometimes he seemed to be less ambulatory than his redesigned form). It is also possoble that this hairstyle was canonically the result of a temporary haircut.

In early 2023, Taku suffered a redesign. His hair was made blond once more (though this is more apparent in "The Tiger Song"), and his head was made oddly squat and squarish. His eyes are the same shade as his hair (outside of "The Tiger Song"), and his outfit is somewhat similar, though his shirt now has pink stripes, and his dungarees feature a panda's head. His shoes are blue with pink soles, and his general proportions are slightly different. Like his family's redesigns, it is an odd decision, as little is drastically altered but just enough is changed as to be unsettling. This version of Taku is smaller than the previous one; much more the size of the original, sandy-haired Taku. Like that Taku, he is much less vocal, and like both that Taku and the quiff-bearing Taku in his early appearances, whenever he does speak his lips do not move, implying he is not actually saying anything in-universe and the singing simply voices his inner thoughts. In "Car Driving Song", his mother seems to respond to him twice, implying he is still speaking. If so, the reason for his mouth not moving is unknown, as his mother's mouth does.
