The Cousins are the Prince's cousins and friends. In Katamari Damacy, 2 players could play as them in Vs Mode, and in future games can also be played in the main game instead of The Prince. Each installment of the series introduced more cousins, totaling to 58 cousins in the main-line series (57 excluding The Prince).
In We ♥ Katamari, the player can see the life of the King of All Cosmos from childhood to adulthood, however, the cutscenes never portrayed, or even hinted, that the King has brothers and sisters, neither that Papa has other offspring. This may imply that, either The Queen of All Cosmos had siblings that gave birth to most (if not, all) of the cousins, or that maybe the King has other family members that the games haven’t acknowledged yet. Twinkle's little and big brothers and sisters, as well as an uncle, are shown in a gif, making Twinkle the only cousin with known siblings and an uncle. The Cousins Princess, Marny, and Pokkle are not blood related to the cousins or The Prince.

Trivia[]
- For the Korean release of Katamari Forever, the cousins' general description reads "Let's build a Roboking with The Prince, friends to help. When you select a cousin for a task, you can control that cousin. If you select a cousin to control in the menu, you can change the character to various cousin." (This description may not be fully accurate as Google Translate was used for translation.)
- It is confirmed the Cousins are children.[1] However, some Cousins are implied to be older than others. This includes Velvet[2] who is described as feminine and mature, Foomin[3] who is described to be in her growth period and having a "sexy" personality, Fujio who is described to have "gotten older" and Drooby who is named "Boss" in Japanese, is large in size and has a feminine build are all implied to be more mature than the rest.
