A 4-year-old kid who is full of curiosity and loves to play games and discover new things. He is very acrobatic and moves at a quick speed. He is a very innocent, happy, and childish character who is always depicted wearing a blue three-flap hat, a blue jacket with a yellow zipper, and a pair of blue pants and shoes. His best friends are Pato, Elly, Loula, Sleepy Bird, and Baby Bird. He has a red race car and a shapeshifting bird-like spaceship called Vamoosh. Although he is very friendly and sweet and almost always in a good mood, he is also highly self-centered, distracted by the simplest things, easily frustrated, frequently jealous of his friends, and he can be very disobedient but tries his hardest to fight his flaws and learn morals and he is also very affectionate and caring towards others and shows it often.

He speaks over the entire show and often communicates directly with the characters. Pocoyo has a good relationship with him and is always really delighted to see (hear) him. He is also at times physically involved in the events of the episodes, making him more of a heard-but-not-seen character rather than a strict narrator. "Pilot" 2002
Pato Unvoiced A yellow duck who wears nothing but a small green top hat. He has a fondness for gardening and is often seen watering plants and flowerbeds. "Pato" means duck in Spanish. He is a favorite amongst the show's target audience due to his enjoyable dancing and the fact that his bill turns 360 degrees. Although friendly, he is the most fastidious and impatient character (indicated by his bill that bends in an angle when disappointed or shocked); on occasion he completely loses his temper, jumping up and down and quacking furiously with his bill spinning rapidly. He can be used as a jackhammer or missile and can act as a helicopter. In the 2002 pilot episode, he was first called Ducky but the name was later changed to Pato. "Pilot" 2002
Elly Unvoiced A pink elephant who always wears a blue backpack. She loves making biscuits and tea and having a tea party with her friends. She also has a doll named Daisy who she cares for very much, and keeps in her backpack when she’s not using it. She usually takes Daisy with her on her tea parties and. Despite her size, she is graceful and gentle, capable of ballet dancing, and as a mother to Pocoyo, being forgiving and always takes care of him. She is, however, can be very bossy and generally does things her way. She usually rides around on her pink scooter. "The See-Saw" 2004
Loula Unknown An orange and magenta beagle puppy who is Pocoyo's pet and companion. She also strictly walks on all four of her legs. She sometimes hops as she is walking. She is mostly curious and shy, as she can be easily frightened. Originally, the character's name was Lucas, in tribute to co-creator and director Guillermo García Carsi's dog, but due to a shortage of female characters, the character was renamed Loula.
