According to The King of All Cosmos, Pokkle has made so many friends in the King's Cosmos, he has forgotten to return home. He is a nice boy who is good at making friends.
Appearance[]
Pokkle is a pale, humanoid being that has a face like other humans in the Katamari series. He wears a yellow tunic with green sleeves and two pink stars in the middle. His hat is orange with a striped pattern and has a white ball at the top. Like multiple other cousins, Pokkle wears purple pants. However, it appears he wears winklepicker-like pointy shoes. Even though Pokkle has a more humanoid body compared to other Cousins, he appears to be far shorter than them in the hub worlds.
