Kohaku (コハク, Kohaku^?) is a male Shiba Inu Jewelpet who represents Leadership and Economic Fortune.

Appearance

Kohaku is a Shiba Inu dog with cream yellow fur, white paws and tail stripe and his inner ears and spots above his eyes are colored light brown. His Jewel Eyes are made out of orange and brown ambers. For his attire, he wears a red bandanna pinned with an orange flower-shaped amber jewel attached around his neck.

He remains the same when under the Red Moon's influence in Jewelpet Happiness, but his eyes are shaped differently, with purple bangs under his eyes and small red irises.

Charm Form

Kohaku's Jewel Charm is oval-shaped. In the center is an orange amber gem shaped like a sun. It also has red and amber-colored decor and Kohaku's trademark red bandana at the top.

Personality

According to the official website, Kohaku is depicted as an energetic and peppy Jewelpet who always tries his best to be ahead of others.

In the anime, Kohaku is usually portrayed as a bit clumsy and sensitive, but is overall very supportive to his allies. In some series, he often ends his sentences with "shiba" (referencing the species he is based around; a Shiba Inu).

Skills

As the Jewelpet of Leadership, Kohaku's power can make humans able to guide a group and set direction for their people to do tasks. Also being the Jewelpet of Economic Fortune, his magic spells can increase a human's luck and chances of winning big prizes. In Jewelpet, Kohaku wields the power of the latter, while in Jewelpet Twinkle☆ he has the former.
