Chipple (チップル Chippuru) is a kangaroo character who first appeared in Klonoa: Empire of Dreams. He also appeared in Klonoa Beach Volleyball as a playable character, Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament as one of the competitors, and Klonoa Heroes in a supporting role. While Chipple is a kangaroo in the series, he appears more human-like in Empire of Dreams. This is most likely a design change for later games.
Personality
Chipple is a kind, insecure, and sensitive kangaroo. Despite his usual jovial attitude, he doesn't have much confidence in his abilities. One example is when he wins the Beach Volleyball tournament, and believes that Klonoa let him win, and restarts the game over and over again. In Empire of Dreams, its revealed that one of his dreams is to be stronger.
