Azumanga Daioh - Chiyochichi (Toy's Works)Chiyochichi · Toy's Works

This Chiyochichi figure by Toy's Works captures one of the most surreal and memorable characters from Azumanga Daioh. Standing approximately 60mm tall, the figure depicts the bizarre cat-like creature that has become an enduring internet meme among fans of the series. Chiyo-chichi is a mysterious floating yellow cat who claims to be the father of Chiyo Mihama, the child prodigy in Azumanga Daioh's ensemble cast. He appears primarily in the dreams of characters including Sakaki and Osaka, where he exhibits peculiar behavior — he is easily angered, shakes violently while changing colors when upset, and may be bullet-proof, a great baseball player, or even Santa Claus. He always maintains the same facial expression with his mouth never closed, and has a dislike for the color red and tomatoes, though he ensures Chiyo eats them for her health. In the English dub, he is known as "Father Cat." The character is voiced by Norio Wakamoto in Japanese and Jason Douglas in English. A scene where Chiyo-chichi suddenly appears in Osaka's dream speaking in Engrish has become a widely shared internet meme due to its absolute randomness.
