About Chococat
Chococat (チョコキャット, Chokokyatto) is a Sanrio character introduced in 1996 – the same year as Pompompurin – designed by Sanrio designer Ikuko Shimizu. His real name is simply Choco; the full “Chococat” name combines his chocolate-colored nose with the word “cat.” His official birthday is May 10.
Chococat is depicted as a small black cat with large, round black eyes, four prominent whiskers, a chocolate-brown nose, and – like Hello Kitty and Pochacco – no visible mouth. He typically wears a blue collar, though Sanrio has produced merchandise featuring him in a wide variety of collar colors, scarves, and seasonal accessories. He lives in his home called the Choco-choco House, where he spends most of his time playing with his friends: Cookie-Bau the dog, Nutz the hamster, Jellybean the bunny, and the Duckies – a cheerful group of ducks.
His personality is defined by energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm for discovery. According to Sanrio’s official character profile, Chococat is “full of get up and go” – perpetually interested in what is happening around him, always exploring, and sometimes a little scatterbrained. His most distinctive ability is what makes him special: his four whiskers function like ultra-sensitive antennae, picking up information from the world around him. This means Chococat is often the first to know about things – a detail that transforms his whiskers from decorative features into a core part of who he is.
His favorite foods are sweets, with a particular love for Chocoball – a Japanese chocolate candy. He also enjoys stargazing and exploration. In the animated web series Hello Kitty and Friends Supercute Adventures, where he is voiced by Michelle Marie, Chococat’s love of science and logical thinking is emphasized – he is known for comically exclaiming “Illogical!” when things don’t make sense.
Where Hello Kitty is calm, gentle, and reserved, Chococat is energetic, exploratory, and always in motion. This contrast in personality – between Sanrio’s most famous character and its most curious one – is part of what makes Chococat a compelling counterpoint in the Sanrio universe.
Chococat’s popularity has followed an interesting path. Despite being created in 1996 and achieving strong early recognition, his rankings in Japan dropped below the top 10 for many years. His fanbase, however, has remained particularly strong in international markets – especially in North America, Brazil, and Western Europe – where his bold black design and curious personality resonate with older Sanrio enthusiasts and the kawaii community. In 2025, Chococat ranked 1st in Brazil and 2nd in the United States and the United Kingdom in Sanrio’s global character rankings, representing his strongest international performance to date.
What’s in This Collection
Solo Chococat Portraits
The foundation of the collection – tiles including Chococat, Adorable Chococat, Cute Chococat, Pretty Chococat, Lovely Chococat, Little Chococat, Chococat Face, Chococat for Kids, Cute Chococat for Kids, and Lovely Chococat for Kids – covers Chococat in his most essential standalone form. These tiles range from simple face-forward portraits that emphasize his large, expressive eyes, to full-body standing poses showing his compact proportions and characteristic rounded silhouette.
The Angry Chococat tile is the collection’s most emotionally expressive portrait departure. Where most Chococat imagery presents him as curious and cheerful, the Angry Chococat captures the specific visual language of anime-adjacent character frustration – a furrowed brow, intensified eye expression, and a dynamic energy that contrasts with his usual sunny disposition. This tile is particularly popular among fans who enjoy the character in more dramatic registers.
Pattern Chococat Coloring Page and Chococat Coloring Book place Chococat within decorative pattern arrangements, creating pages that function as a hybrid between character coloring and pattern coloring – more complex and time-intensive than the portrait tiles.
Big And Small Chococats depicts both a standard-sized and a miniature version of the character together – an interesting compositional challenge that shows how the same black-and-white design reads differently at two scales within a single page.
Activity and Object Tiles
Chococat rides a Bike is the collection’s most dynamic action tile – Chococat in motion, his characteristic roundness contrasting with the angular geometry of bicycle wheels and handlebars.
Chococat with Book connects perfectly to his canonical personality – the curious, knowledge-hungry Chococat engaged with the object most associated with learning and discovery. Chococat with A Friend depicts him in companionship, reinforcing the warm social bonds central to the Sanrio universe.
Chococat with Flower, Chococat with Gift Box, Chococat with Shining Star, and Chococat with Cake are the collection’s most decorative object tiles – placing Chococat alongside visually rich companions that give the colorist secondary color problems to solve. Chococat with Birthday Cake, Chococat with Birthday Cake (the second variant), and Chococat is celebrating bridge everyday and in seasonal contexts – festive compositions suitable for year-round birthday use.
Seasonal and Holiday Tiles
Happy Halloween, Chococat, and Chococat Halloween cover October with atmospheric compositions. The Witch Chococat tile is particularly well-suited to Chococat’s existing design – a black cat wearing a pointed witch hat is one of Halloween’s most traditional symbol combinations, making this tile feel both character-specific and universally Halloween-recognizable. The black fur that is Chococat’s defining feature becomes his most Halloween-appropriate quality.
Merry Christmas, Chococat, and Happy Holidays, Chococat cover December. The contrast between Chococat’s jet black fur and the warm reds, greens, and golds of Christmas imagery creates a naturally striking coloring composition. St. Patrick’s Day Chococat brings the character into spring’s clover-and-green visual world – again a strong contrast. Chococat – Happy Fall places him in autumn’s warm amber and orange aesthetic, which connects naturally to his chocolate-colored nose and the warmth of the season.
Birthday Tiles
Happy Birthday Chococat and Chococat Birthday are the collection’s dedicated celebration pages – Chococat with birthday cake, balloons, and party elements. Given his official birthday of May 10, these tiles are particularly timely in spring and work year-round for fan celebrations and card-making activities.
Sanrio Ensemble Tiles
Multiple tile pairs Chococat with other Sanrio characters within the broader Sanrio universe. Hello Kitty, Chococat Coloring Page, Chococat and Hello Kitty to Color, Chococat, Hello Kitty Coloring Page Free, and Chococat and Hello Kitty Coloring Page form the collection’s largest ensemble cluster. The pairing of these two is visually natural – two cat characters whose designs create maximum contrast: Hello Kitty’s white body and warm pastels against Chococat’s jet black fur and bold, round eyes. For the full Hello Kitty collection, see our Hello Kitty Coloring Pages.
Chococat and Pompompurin Coloring Page pairs the black cat with Sanrio’s golden retriever – warm gold against deep black, a strong visual combination. The Sanrio Free Coloring Page depicts multiple Sanrio characters together in a group composition. ICO and Chococat pair Chococat with Ico, another Sanrio cat character.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Crossover Cluster
The collection’s most unexpected and most celebrated cluster for anime fans – four tiles reimagining Chococat in the visual style of characters from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Hirohiko Araki’s long-running manga and anime series known for its flamboyant fashion, elaborate character designs, and distinctive visual language.
Chococat Jotaro Kujo renders Chococat in the identity of Part 3’s protagonist – recognizable by the dark peaked cap with chain detail, long dark coat, and characteristically stern expression. Chococat Bruno Bucciarati depicts Chococat as Part 5’s stoic gang leader – the dark bob haircut with butterfly clips, white suit, and dignified bearing. Avdol Chococat places Chococat in the identity of Part 3’s Muhammad Avdol – tall turban, decorated coat, dignified bearing. Chococat Cioccolata renders him as Part 5’s villain – whose name, cioccolata, is Italian for chocolate, creating a perfect nominative connection to Chococat’s own chocolate-themed identity.
Chococat, as Sasuke Uchiha, extends the anime crossover into the Naruto universe – Chococat in Sasuke’s dark blue outfit with the Uchiha clan symbol and high collar. Chococat Luna The Cat is the collection’s most naturally fitting crossover – Luna from Sailor Moon is already a black cat with magical properties, making the visual gap between Chococat and Luna relatively small. Both are black cats with large, expressive eyes; the distinction is in Luna’s crescent moon marking and more elongated proportions.
Coloring Guide: The Chococat Palette
The Core Challenge – Working With Black Fur
Chococat presents a coloring challenge that most Sanrio characters do not: his entire body is black. For most coloring page characters, the body color provides the primary warm, expressive element. For Chococat, the black fur is not a color to fill so much as a field to work with – and how the colorist handles the interaction between black fur, white eyes, chocolate nose, and surrounding accessories determines the visual success of the finished page.
Option 1 – True black: Leave Chococat’s body in the darkest available black, with no variation. This produces the most graphically bold result – maximum contrast, maximum graphic impact. The white eyes read as luminous against solid black. Works best on simple portrait tiles.
Option 2 – Deep blue-black with highlights: Apply deep navy or near-black blue as the base fur color, then add a subtle lighter cool-gray highlight line along the top of the head, the top of the ears, and any raised surface where light would naturally fall. This creates the impression of light catching on fur without losing the overall dark quality, which is how black cats are rendered in most animation and illustration.
Option 3 – Creative recolor: Ignore canonical black and use any fur color that appeals – deep purple, midnight navy, forest green, or even warm dark brown (which leans into the chocolate thematic). This is entirely valid and is actually something Sanrio itself has done – releasing Chococat in greyish-brown and even pink in various merchandise lines.
Chococat’s Key Design Details
The chocolate nose is the most important color anchor in any Chococat page – a warm, medium chocolate brown that is noticeably warmer and more brown than the cool black of his fur. It should read clearly as its own distinct color, not as an extension of the black fur.
The white eyes are the most expressive element. Keep them close to paper white with dark pupils at the center. A small white highlight arc in the upper portion of each eye creates dimensional, luminous eyes rather than flat white ovals.
The blue collar – when depicted – uses a medium, clear blue. Sanrio’s official Chococat blue collar is a relatively standard sky-to-medium blue, brighter than navy.
The whiskers extend from the face as four thin, prominent lines – typically lighter than the surrounding black fur, often depicted as white or very pale grey.
Accessories and Backgrounds
Because Chococat’s body uses a constrained black-and-white palette, everything surrounding him becomes an opportunity for vivid color. The gift box tiles suit vivid wrapping colors. The flower tile suits the most saturated available floral palette. The birthday cake tiles use the full warm celebration palette. For seasonal tiles, follow canonical seasonal palettes: Halloween’s orange, black, and purple; Christmas’s red, gold, and green; St. Patrick’s Day’s shamrock green and gold; autumn’s amber, orange-red, and warm brown. In each case, Chococat’s black body naturally integrates into dark palettes while contrasting dramatically against warm seasonal colors.
The JoJo Crossover Tiles
Each JoJo crossover tile requires familiarity with the source character for the most satisfying result. Jotaro’s dark navy coat and cap blend closely with Chococat’s black; the cap details and chain are the primary elements to define. Bruno Bucciarati’s white suit against Chococat’s black creates the strongest contrast in the crossover cluster. The butterfly hair clips are made of soft lavender or pale blue. Avdol’s rich red turban and decorated coat use deep warm reds and gold. Cioccolata’s patchwork medical coat uses varied, slightly desaturated tones across each patch section.
