-==== Original series ====+
-Kouchu wore a blue jacket and a indigo jeans. He also wore a green T-shirt and white socks, and Cerulean-and-Red-colored shoes.+
-==== Beyonds series ====+Kouchu is one of the recognizable characters of the early '90s, since his state is a protagonist. He is also considered a major pop icon character for Japanese pop culture in the United States. Despite this, he has been largely criticized for being stuck in a 'floating timeline,'
-Kouchu's outfit hasn't change that much, but he wore a different kind of shoes: a yellow shoe with a black, giant "z" on it.+
-==== Brawler's Quest series ====+Kouchu, as a main character, wants to become the title, "The Master Champion of the League", with the help of his pal, who is a popular characters of the 90's, Roaracryst. Like any other characters, such as Ash Ketchum from Pokemon, Goku from Dragon Ball, and Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece, Kouchu would fullfill his dreams.

-<span>Kouchu's outfit hasn't change that much, but he wore a different kind of shoes: A orange shoe with a white line on it.</span>+
-==== Next Quest ====+Kouchu is one of the most popular young anime characters in the 1990s, which he wore all different kinds of outfits all these years that made him iconic, especially the Original Series.

-==== Mental Consions ====+==Concept and Creation==
-Kouchu now wore a sleeveless blue shirt and a pale yellow pants and also wore a white scarf, and white and black shoes.+The creator, Maruko Jinko wants the anime on the franchise based on the video games, so he would make the game player character, Kouchu, into his anime counterpart. Maruko Jinko decided to change Kouchu's whole appearance so he wouldn't make his game counterpart the character of the anime. Garuko Joshida initally overseen Kouchu's design, and his iris gets bigger in Brawler's Quest. Kouchu has larger blue irises in ''Next Quest''. Garuko Joshida wanted to change the hairstyle of Kouchu to make him more familliar, and Kouchu worn a red headband every series, featuring the color of the circle of the flag in Japan. After Season 16 (Next Quest), Hidoshi Shayama, a designer since Season 13 (which he took Garuko Joshida's place after he retires to start designing series ''[[Dungeon Explores]]'') decided to change Kouchu’s hair although he changes his mind against having Kouchu’s original hair in Season 17. So Hidoshi change Kouchu’s hair-- both sides long, and a big, fuzzy part at the back. At the beginning of ‘’Moon Blade’’ series, Hidoshi Shayama decided to change Kouchu’s hair again , now to short rather than having his long hair in the Moon Blade series. Maruko Jinko have kouchu to have a last name to deprive his personality and future physics.
-==== Souls of Legends ====+The character development will summarize the creator’s idea, which Kouchu’s last name, Misako, means skillful and courage, which fits Kouchu into this personality. Originally, he was concepted to be called “Kelvin”, but Maruko Jinko stated, “Isn’t the name, ‘Kouchu’ better? It fits his design!”. In the 25th anniversary movie, Kouchu was redesigned in his original design, remade for the Crystal Jewels 25th Anniversary.
-<span>Kouchu now wore a sleeveless blue shirt and a pale yellow pants and also wore a white scarf, and white and black shoes.</span>+
-==== Natalie Quest ====+Kouchu Misako, the name unlike his last name, was taken from the playable character's in the ''Crystal Jewels'' (1993) video game, and the slogan (as of Garnet and Turquoise, and Moon Blade revived) for the series, "Every Crystal Has a Power!".
-<span>Kouchu now wore a sleeveless blue shirt and a pale yellow pants and also wore a white scarf, and white and black shoes.</span>+
-====Moon Blade====+Also, like the games, Kouchu Misako and Marcy Kimensho (''Shinsho'' in the Japanese version), based on their video game counterparts, are rivals, but their rivalry gets somewhat stronger the fact that Marcy has over numerous of Marukas. Jinko stated, " I know Kouchu has a possibility of becoming who he is on the inside and out.".

 +====Critical reception====
 +In Garnet and Turquoise Episode 1505, a female blue-hair character named ichigo Musaki has a crush on Kouchu, influncing fans to imagine the couple and their future. Kouchu and Ichigo are a couple, until Kouchu reveals his love on Ichigo to his companions. Once Kouchu saves Ichigo again from Red Kouchu, the two characters share their first kiss. There are several more kiss scenes in the series. But, they were cutted until the characters were decided to be kissing. Kouchu and Ichigo were a pair because Maruko Jinko stated “A girl would be in love with kouchu, and Kouchu’s changing and growing for a time being. I want Kouchu and Ichigo to be boy and girl-friend because once characters have appearances in common, they are most likely to compare.
-== Achievements ==+Since episode 38 of the twenty-fifth season ("Bind, Fuse, and Brawl!") , Kouchu was able to merge all of his Crystal Monsters all into a “Rottobigin”, a final form gained from the Crystalpod device, which was also used in the Annual Tourament in episode 51 of the twenty-eighth season, using the Moon Star Bracelette to transform Rottobigin to Moonobigin. But the battle got big it turns back to Rottobigin.Maruko Jinko stated once more, “Rottobigin is a powerful Crystal Monster of all time. That’s why Kouchu turns all of his 6 Crystal Monsters into a powerful, big, Rottobigin.”
 +In the book "Animefication of Anime" cited Kouchu as an example of identication. Additionally, influenced the character's growth and development over the anime series. KCF listed Kouchu ninth as ''Best Child Characters in Anime'', and listed him seventh in ''Coolest Wigs and Hair in Television''.

-== Achievements ==+Kouchu will also appear in Gameguys Infinity 2018 as a cameo in the background stage as Roaracryst's companion. He will appear in different costumes and outfits from the movies and the episodes of the series.
-=== Badges ===+Since Kouchu is based on his game counterpart, he is one of the default names in ''Crystal Jewels'' and ''Crystal Jewels 2''. Kouchu and his anime counterpart compared, they both look different as time went by. Marcy Kimensho (Shinsho in Japanese), also have a last name, like Kouchu, and based on her video game counterpart. Also, Sakuro Himensho is based on his video game counterpart. Rather than the three traveling together, Marcy was replaced with Shauna Genga, and Marcy aside, caught over numberless of Marukas.
-==== Jarbon Badges ====+In ''Crystal Jewels, Crystal Jewels 2'', and their remakes, a character very similar to Kouchu (his video game counterpart) appears as a playable character as well as in cameos in ''Crystal Jewels 3, Pakular, their remakes, Advance2, and Garnet and Turquoise.''. The anime re-imagined Kouchu as his anime counterpart, the same way it re-imagined Kouchu's rival Marcy and Sakuro as their anime counterparts. Although they are counterparts, they are not the same characters because they originate from different canons and thus developed from different experiences. Though Crystal Jewels 2 has certain plot aspects that were inspired by the anime series, the player character is still named Kouchu

Kouchu Misako (Japanese:コウチュ Hepburn:Kouchu) (/'kaʊtʃuː/;[kowtɕɯː]) is a fictional character of the Crystal Jewels series created by Maruko Jinko. He is the main protagonist in the Crystal Jewels anime and manga series, as well as various merchandise followed by Demogames and Gameguys. He is loosely based on his video game counterpart, which have the same name, and the player of Crystal Jewels, Crystal Jewels 2, and Crystal Jewels Advanced Kingdom.

In Japanese, Kouchu was voiced by various Japanese voice actors. In Japanese, he was voiced by Rebi Ushaki for the Original Series. In 3 Farko Arc, he was voiced by Aka Noashaka , then Shonen Noko for the Advanced Adventure seried and Oro Nota for the No Quitting! series, but he stopped at season 15 of the series, so Gorudon Rokui voices Kouchu from the rest of the No Quitting! to the Garnet and Turquoise series then Satoshi Yatamono took over for the remainder of the series.

In English, Kouchu was voiced by various English voice actors. He is first voiced by Kate Ukona from 1993 to 1997, then in order, he was voiced by Shauna Jones (from 1997 to 2001),Lily Jameson (2001 to 2005), and Emma George for Season 13. John Silver would take over (2006 to 2009),then Dan Natajin (2009 to 2012) and Max Bayman (2012 to 2017). in Garnet and Turquoise, since Season 26, Kouchu is voiced by Steven Gray.

The name Kouchu came from his video game counterpart. The character's first official game appearance was "CrystalZeni", which was release in Japan. Since the Crystal Jewels anime, which ran since January 6, 1993, have an average of 1,707+ episodes, Kouchu appears in all the episodes, all the films, and several specials.

Kouchu is one of the recognizable characters of the early '90s, since his state is a protagonist. He is also considered a major pop icon character for Japanese pop culture in the United States. Despite this, he has been largely criticized for being stuck in a 'floating timeline,'

Kouchu, as a main character, wants to become the title, "The Master Champion of the League", with the help of his pal, who is a popular characters of the 90's, Roaracryst. Like any other characters, such as Ash Ketchum from Pokemon, Goku from Dragon Ball, and Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece, Kouchu would fullfill his dreams. Maruko Jinko once stated, "The best character of Kouchu suits the series so well, taking role of the role!" kouchu, which is the main character of the Crystal Jewels series, who always dreamed into becoming a Master Champion of The League brawler. On his beginning of the journey, Kouchu received his first Crystal Monster, Roaracryst. Kouchu's long-time rival is Marcy Kimensho, who always travels and win against him, but Kouchu won't give in it. Kouchu is one of the default name options for the 1993 game, Crystal Jewels. Like the game, Roaracryst was recieved by Kouchu, the player.

Kouchu is one of the most popular young anime characters in the 1990s, which he wore all different kinds of outfits all these years that made him iconic, especially the Original Series.

Contents

Concept and Creation

The creator, Maruko Jinko wants the anime on the franchise based on the video games, so he would make the game player character, Kouchu, into his anime counterpart. Maruko Jinko decided to change Kouchu's whole appearance so he wouldn't make his game counterpart the character of the anime. Garuko Joshida initally overseen Kouchu's design, and his iris gets bigger in Brawler's Quest. Kouchu has larger blue irises in Next Quest. Garuko Joshida wanted to change the hairstyle of Kouchu to make him more familliar, and Kouchu worn a red headband every series, featuring the color of the circle of the flag in Japan. After Season 16 (Next Quest), Hidoshi Shayama, a designer since Season 13 (which he took Garuko Joshida's place after he retires to start designing series Dungeon Explores) decided to change Kouchu’s hair although he changes his mind against having Kouchu’s original hair in Season 17. So Hidoshi change Kouchu’s hair-- both sides long, and a big, fuzzy part at the back. At the beginning of ‘’Moon Blade’’ series, Hidoshi Shayama decided to change Kouchu’s hair again , now to short rather than having his long hair in the Moon Blade series. Maruko Jinko have kouchu to have a last name to deprive his personality and future physics.

The character development will summarize the creator’s idea, which Kouchu’s last name, Misako, means skillful and courage, which fits Kouchu into this personality. Originally, he was concepted to be called “Kelvin”, but Maruko Jinko stated, “Isn’t the name, ‘Kouchu’ better? It fits his design!”. In the 25th anniversary movie, Kouchu was redesigned in his original design, remade for the Crystal Jewels 25th Anniversary.

Kouchu Misako, the name unlike his last name, was taken from the playable character's in the Crystal Jewels (1993) video game, and the slogan (as of Garnet and Turquoise, and Moon Blade revived) for the series, "Every Crystal Has a Power!".

Also, like the games, Kouchu Misako and Marcy Kimensho (Shinsho in the Japanese version), based on their video game counterparts, are rivals, but their rivalry gets somewhat stronger the fact that Marcy has over numerous of Marukas. Jinko stated, " I know Kouchu has a possibility of becoming who he is on the inside and out.".

Designs

Every series, Kouchu has light peach skin and blue eyes and his hair is always blue. Always wearing his red headband every series, Kouchu made a few outfit changes.

In the Original series, Kouchu wore a blue jacket and a indigo jeans. He also wore a green T-shirt and white socks, and Cerulean-and-Red-colored shoes. In the Beyonds series, Kouchu's outfit hasn't change that much, but he wore a different kind of shoes: a yellow shoe with a black, giant "z" on it. In Brawler's Quest series, Kouchu's outfit hasn't change that much, but he wore a different kind of shoes: A orange shoe with a white line on it. in Next Quest ,Kouchu's outfit have changed- a yellow and red jacket and some blue jeans, along with a red T-shirt and black and blue shoes. From Mental Consions to Natalie Quest, Kouchu now wore a sleeveless blue shirt and a pale yellow pants and also wore a white scarf, and white and black shoes. In Moon Blade, Kouchu wears a short sleeved jacket with colors of red on one side and blue on another. He wore a jeans pants which is indigo.

Voice acting

In Japanese, Kouchu was voiced by various Japanese voice actors. In Japanese, he was voiced by Rebi Ushaki (season 1 through 4, 1993-1996), although her voice was possible for Kouchuin Japanese, though she voiced him in the movies (1-5), and retires. Since the fifth season, he was voiced by Aka Noashaka (season 5-8, 1996-2000), and she voiced him in the first 8 episodes in Brawler's Quest, season 9, then after she retires, Shonen Noko took over till' season 12(season 9-12, 2000-2004), and retirez. Oro Nota (season 13-15, 2004-2007) voiced him since Next Quest till' Season 15, however, he can't continue because he experience mental problems, so Gorudon Rokui (season 16-27, 2007-2017) took over until season 27 (Garnet and Turquoise, 2017),then retires, then Satoshi Yatamono does Kouchu (season 27-present, 2017).

Critical reception

In Garnet and Turquoise Episode 1505, a female blue-hair character named ichigo Musaki has a crush on Kouchu, influncing fans to imagine the couple and their future. Kouchu and Ichigo are a couple, until Kouchu reveals his love on Ichigo to his companions. Once Kouchu saves Ichigo again from Red Kouchu, the two characters share their first kiss. There are several more kiss scenes in the series. But, they were cutted until the characters were decided to be kissing. Kouchu and Ichigo were a pair because Maruko Jinko stated “A girl would be in love with kouchu, and Kouchu’s changing and growing for a time being. I want Kouchu and Ichigo to be boy and girl-friend because once characters have appearances in common, they are most likely to compare.

Since episode 38 of the twenty-fifth season ("Bind, Fuse, and Brawl!") , Kouchu was able to merge all of his Crystal Monsters all into a “Rottobigin”, a final form gained from the Crystalpod device, which was also used in the Annual Tourament in episode 51 of the twenty-eighth season, using the Moon Star Bracelette to transform Rottobigin to Moonobigin. But the battle got big it turns back to Rottobigin.Maruko Jinko stated once more, “Rottobigin is a powerful Crystal Monster of all time. That’s why Kouchu turns all of his 6 Crystal Monsters into a powerful, big, Rottobigin.”

In the book "Animefication of Anime" cited Kouchu as an example of identication. Additionally, influenced the character's growth and development over the anime series. KCF listed Kouchu ninth as Best Child Characters in Anime, and listed him seventh in Coolest Wigs and Hair in Television.

Since Kouchu is based on his game counterpart, he is one of the default names in Crystal Jewels and Crystal Jewels 2. Kouchu and his anime counterpart compared, they both look different as time went by. Marcy Kimensho (Shinsho in Japanese), also have a last name, like Kouchu, and based on her video game counterpart. Also, Sakuro Himensho is based on his video game counterpart. Rather than the three traveling together, Marcy was replaced with Shauna Genga, and Marcy aside, caught over numberless of Marukas.

The anime re-imagined Kouchu as his anime counterpart, the same way it re-imagined Kouchu's rival Marcy and Sakuro as their anime counterparts. Although they are counterparts, they are not the same characters because they originate from different canons and thus developed from different experiences. Though Crystal Jewels 2 has certain plot aspects that were inspired by the anime series, the player character is still named Kouchu

And also, in Mii Island of the Gods, Kouchu made another appearance in the episode “Crystals and Jewels”. Another appearance Kouchu have made is Gameguys Infinity animated, which Kouchu is called Kouch Misack, which he is in episodes 12, 20, 55, 72, and 80.

Controversy

Kouchu have at least 90+ Crystal Monsters to him (without 30 Fishkarn and 20 Pioneers:40). He also have 80 medals won so far. Kouchu also encountered over 79 Crystal Monsters (and also 129 Crystal Monsters). These calculations were recorded at the upcoming 25th Anniversary of Crystal Jewels. There are many age differences in the series, which Kouchu was 9 (Original Series), 10 (Beyonds), 12 (Brawler’s Quest), 15 (Next Quest), 17 (Mental Consions), 19 (Souls of Legends, and Natalie Quest), and 20 (Moon Blade). Kouchu have been also most likely to achieve his dream.Kouchu uses his powers for Crystal Monsters to become strong. Stone 2: Glows blue, and uses the Crystal Monster's secondary attack. Stone 3:Glows Red, and uses Crystal Monster's thirdinary attack. Stone 4:Glows green, and uses Crystal Monster's fourthly attack.

In ‘’Go! Go! Super Battle’’, the character, Koumisa Chuko, based on the video game character, Kouchu, was borrowed of his name reassembled from Kouchu Misako, which is bold in first and normal in last name: Kouchu Misako (Koumisa Chuko). Koumisa was called that because he is based on his game counterpart, and the game counterpart was imagined as his anime counterpart and the anime counterpart's name was borrowed.

In Crystal Jewels Zenerations, there are several references about Kouchu. In the episode, “The Secret Scroll”, Sakuro told the warren that Exxagoris was owned by Kouchu. In “Snow Storm”, Shauna told the village kids her adventures with Kouchu and the crew. In one of the episodes, Kouchu was imagined as his anime counterpart.

Marcy Kimensho, Kouchu’s longtime rival, was colder and crueler than her video game counterpart. She is good companions with Furious Five (became between protagonist and antagonist) especially with the evil minions, the Cheater Girls and Cheetah, with all their Marukas working together to rid of Kouchu and his friends. The rivalry of the two brawlers as Crystal Brawlers since Marcy the Genius, the ninth episode of the Crystal Jewels series. Kouchu hates Marcy, and Marcy always tell Kouchu that he is nasty, ugly, stinky, a liar, etc. and that makes Kouchu angry at her. Marcy and Kouchu never have been friends, and Marcy always prove that she is the strongest in the world.

On January 10, 2018, the Garnet, Turquoise, and Amethyst episode Return of Rottobigin (ティロの復讐! コウチュの最終フィニッシュ Tiro no fukushū! Koichi no saishū finisshu!?, Tyro's Revenge! Kouchu's Final Finish!) faced controversy from fans when Kouchu and Rottobigin mastered a "Mega-Move" to Tyro's Crystal Monsters, which Kouchu mastered the big move, "Z-Riken Fury XYZ", which Kouchu's Rottobigin was powerful than any Crystal Monster, and even powerful than Kouchu's Kouchubot, the robot version of Kouchu. The ShanonX company argued that "Rottobigin should be banned from the anime" because they think it is too powerful it almost explodes the Natalie Region with the intense blow. On all TV Database the episode became the most shocking rate of episodes of the entire anime.

Cultural influence

Kouchu Misako is still at least the popular character today. In the World Greatest Anime Records 2018, Kouchu was listed No.12 in the “Top 25 Best Male Anime Characters in their series”. Also, he was listed No.8 in “Top 29 Best Anime Hair”, No.3 in “Best Blue-Hair Anime Characters” in that position. Kouchu Misako was drawn, designed, and acted by other fans other than Maruko Jinko. They create fanarts, doujinshis, animated parodies, bootleg video games, fan novels, and stories.

Of course, Kouchu in his Original Series design was redesigned for the 25th anniversary. One time, fans and more fans compares Kouchu and his game counterpart and contrast them. Knowing for the resolution, Maruko Jinko stated, “I think Kouchu (from the anime) isn’t the bad character at all. And he have interesting moments according to his past”. The statement Jinko made suits the idea of the popularity of the Crystal Jewels series. Then, Kouchu Misako would be noticed and be looked back all these years since 1993.

“Within that ‘Every Crystal has a Power!’, Kouchu has the power to save the Crystal World. When we look back all these years of Kouchu, we realize one thing-- a master champion is a master champion of the league”. The character have big plans into being a master champion, which is absolutely, Kouchu Misako.
