Pinkfong is the main character and mascot of the YouTube channel, Pinkfong.

Appearance

Pinkfong is a fox. He has pink fur, magenta eyes, and wears a small golden crown on his head. He wears a gold star necklace named Pio that holds magical powers. It is one of the main focuses of the show Pinkfong Wonderstar.

Personality

Pinkfong is a young cheerful fox, often shown singing in most of his videos. According to the official website and the episode Welcome to Wonderville[7], he is described to be "the prince of Staria with boundless curiosity", who loves music more than anything.

Pinkfong Wonderstar

In Welcome to Wonderville, Pinkfong was very energetic while he was playing with Hogi's toys. He broke his telescope but managed to fix his mistakes using Pio.

When Jojo could not sleep because of a strange noise in Good Night, Jojo, him and Hogi were frightened by this horrific sound while Pinkfong was not. This shows a mark of bravery.

Also in Good Night, Jojo, Pinkfong did not think of any negative thoughts and went inside Barri's cave without cynicism or fear. This shows a mark of determination, and that he would not give up on his friends. In the same episode, Pinkfong said to Jojo, "Do you have any neighbors that like to drop giant weights?". This line could suggest that Pinkfong is trying to comfort Jojo by being humorous, and to take the noise off his head.

In Boogie Woogie Fun, Pinkfong was defensive of the house when he thought that Hogi was an intruder.

In the episode The Mysterious Holes, it is shown that Pio can get tired and lose powers for a small amount of time.

Pinkfong has shown his clumsy side in We are Wonderstar when he destroyed Hogi's detective office blueprint accidentally, and when he chucked Hogi's books around in Welcome to Wonderville. Pinkfong is sometimes irascible as shown in We are Wonderstar when Hogi yelled at him for breaking his blueprint, to which he yelled back.

Pinkfong was childish in Welcome to Wonderville, due to him playing with all of Hogi's items.

Pinkfong also remembers to fix his mistakes. He accidentally broke Hogi's telescope, but fixed it shortly after.[8]
