Coco - Mermaid Princess of the South Pacific Ocean and keeper of the yellow pearl. She is incarcerated by the sea monsters for most of the first season, so not much is known about her. In the manga, however, she is a friend of fellow Mermaid Princess Sara. Later, she found to be playful and gentle in the manga, yet brash and outspoken in the anime. Her idol form is Yellow Pearl Voice.
Coco's name could be romanized as either "Koko" or "Coco."
Coco
Coco is the princess of the South Pacific Ocean. Using her Yellow Pearl, she can transform into Yellow Pearl Voice. She can also assume a human form in order to move about on dry land.
Coco has already been captured by Gakuto by the time that the manga begins. She spends the majority of the first story arc asleep within Gakuto's castle.
Coco is a difficult character to understand, especially since she is only active at the very end of the manga. She seems to be a very kind, gentle person with a normally bright, sunny personality. She is often visually associated with yellow daisies. Coco is also very brave, however, and very loyal to her friends - loyal to a fault. And Coco's closest, dearest friend is none other than Sara. When Coco is awoken and freed from Gakuto's castle in chapter 14, she, for some indiscernible reason, decides instead to stay behind with Sara. Perhaps Coco did not want to leave Sara behind. Perhaps Coco had enough faith in the other mermaid princesses to believe that they would come back for her again, and when they did, then she would be able to do something for Sara. Who knows? Coco's motives for willingly staying behind as Gakuto's prisoner are certainly debatable. But when she is awoken again in chapter 19 and realizes that the castle around her is crumbling and that the final battle is occurring, Coco bravely and simply does what she must do. And it is Coco's love, and Coco's song, that ultimately starts Sara back on the path to her true self.
In the second story arc of the manga, Coco has a bit more "screentime," and more of a chance to display her normal, playful personality. It should be noted, however, that in the manga, Coco is a much more gentle person than her rather brash, outspoken anime counterpart. However, like in the anime, Coco still likes to have fun, hang around boys, and occassionally (albeit rarely) displays a sexy, sophisticated side of her personality.
Coco's Forms
mermaid Coco
This is Coco's basic, true shape (first appearance: chapter 14).
Coco also appears as a faceless, sketchy background figure in chapters 2, 3, and 8-10.
Coco
Coco in her human form (first appearance: chapter 24).
Yellow Pearl Voice
Coco's superheroine alter-ego (first appearance: chapter 20).
Coco does not appear as a mermaid princess. Yellow Pearl Voice only has one outfit in the manga, and has received no power-ups. However, her one and only idol outfit is indeed analogous with the "second" idol outfits of the other mermaid princesses; it has double-layered gloves, boots, and ruffles.
Coco's Powers
transformation
Coco does not use a special phrase or incantation to transform into Yellow Pearl Voice; she just does.
singing
Despite being without her pearl, Coco can still sing a song emotionally powerful enough to move the heart of even Sara, as she does in chapter 19. Although granted, in chapter 19, when Coco sings, she also eventually gains the help of the other mermaid princesses singing along with her.
Magical Items
Yellow Pearl
The Yellow Pearl is the source of Coco's power; she needs it to transform into Yellow Pearl Voice.
seashell locket
Like the other mermaids, Coco keeps her pearl in a seashell locket that she wears around her neck. Her locket is yellow in color.
microphone
When she transforms into Yellow Pearl Voice, Coco uses her microphone to project her singing voice.
key rod
In chapter 29, Coco takes the magical Key Rod from Hippo, and uses it to fight Michel.
