Koki is a member of the Wild Kratts crew. She is a mechanic and computers expert, and her main job is manning the communication systems of the Tortuga.
Physical Appearance[]
Koki is a young and slim African-American woman of average height (though she is noticeably shorter than Aviva) and in her 20s. She has dark brown skin with some freckles, long Afro-styled hair, and brown eyes. Her outfit usually consists of a maroon short-sleeve T-shirt with black sleeves and a white star on it, yellow bootcut pants, and red shoes, each with two turquoise blue stripes coming down from the laces to the sole. Additionally, she wears a yellow headband. She also has triple-pierced ears. Her beach outfit is similar to her casual wear, only with yellow shorts and maroon sandals. But in Sea Otter Swim, she had on a sleeveless variety. Her signature colors are maroon, yellow, and orange. For winter wear, Koki wears a maroon peabody coat and yellow boots. However, in later seasons, Koki instead wears a light orange peabody coat. Her Creature Power Suit is also orange.
Personality[]
Koki is a highly competent and dedicated member of the Wild Kratts team, known for her sharp intellect and problem-solving skills. While she maintains a serious demeanor and can be easily irritated, she possesses a dry, sarcastic wit and knows when to lighten the mood. She's fiercely independent and unafraid to voice her opinions or defend herself when challenged.
Despite her occasional impatience with the Kratt brothers' more outlandish adventures, she's incredibly loyal and hardworking, consistently contributing to the team's success. She tackles problems head-on, devising clever solutions under pressure.
Koki is sane, serious, and easily annoyed, but she knows when to smile and joke off. She is not afraid to fight back when threatened and speak what is on her mind. A defining trait of Koki's is her typically sarcastic tone, usually taken in the midst of one of the Kratt brothers' various antics. Despite this, she is still competent at her job and does never give up easily. If there is trouble, she gets right to solving it, often coming up with clever solutions. Her loyalty and hardworking attitude are two of the things that keep the Wild Kratts crew strong and together.
However, Koki can also be arrogant and stubborn, sometimes making quick judgments without fully considering all sides of a situation. Her initial skepticism towards bats in "A Bat in the Brownies" demonstrates this tendency, showcasing her struggle to accept new perspectives until confronted with undeniable evidence. Ultimately, her empathy and sense of justice prevail, leading to personal growth.
Her main flaws are that, similar to Aviva, Koki can be arrogant, stubborn, and quick to judge something. For instance, in A Bat in the Brownies, Koki was the most difficult crew member to convince that bats were both misunderstood and awesome creatures, even after Bite-Size was shown to really be hunting for mosquitoes. It wasn’t until after she found the bat colony’s home to be destroyed, and noticed how scared and vulnerable they were, that Koki gained a change of heart.
Abilities[]
As the technology and computer expert of the team, Koki manages the communication systems of the Tortuga, receiving, transmitting, and intercepting signals. She is an intelligent skilled mechanic, with engineering skills on par with that of Aviva's, seeing as she also helped in the Tortuga's construction; as such, she is in charge of maintaining their base of operations. She also researches information about animals on the internet.
