Poko (TV Series) - Characters

Characters

  • Poko (voiced by Cory Bowles) is a little boy. Every day he plays in his bedroom, out in his backyard. Poko, however, has a magic finger. When he says "Poko pippity pop!" he can draw objects, which then become real, by tracing in the air with his finger. Poko often encounters obstacles and gets cranky or upset, but then cheers up with the help of an unseen narrator.
  • Minus is Poko's pet dog. He is very playful, and often causes trouble. Although he can't always understand what is going on, he sometimes shows much more human-like behaviour, such as being able to walk on his hind feet, play soccer, or dance. He is named for his ability to erase Poko's creations from existence (when they aren't needed anymore or he doesn't like them) by using his nose like an eraser. His silly antics often cause Poko to laugh and say "Silly Minus!"
  • Mr. Murphy is Poko's stuffed toy monkey, usually just sits around. He can sometimes be seen to have moved his hands (such as to shrug, or cover his eyes), but is never seen actually moving.
  • Bibi is a young girl who is Poko's friend. She comes over sometimes to have a play date with Poko. Bibi can use her magic sticker book in a way that resembles Poko's ability, by opening the book to a sticker of an object and then making that object real. (The character of Bibi was introduced at the beginning of the second season.)

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.”
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    “For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
