Choo Choo, nicknamed "Chooch" by Top Cat and his gang, is an anthropomorphic cat and a main character in the Top Cat TV series. His voice was originated by Marvin Kaplan.

Character description

Choo Choo is a tall, pink cat with an angular face. He has slanted eyes and a peach snout. His tail is fluffy and has black tip at the end. Choo Choo also wears is a white turtleneck sweater with long sleeves.

Personality-wise, Choo Choo is a enthusiastic follower of Top Cat's gang, even if he is unaware of his leader's eccentric motives. One unique trait is that he's both sensitive and hopelessly romantic, often showing anxiety whenever he tries to go on a date. He also tends to be rather insecure, often doubting himself when it comes to potential mates.

In the HBO Max series Jellystone!, Choo Choo is a girl with tough attitude, instead of a socially-awkward male. She also has a thicker Bronx accent.

Behind the scenes

• In the Spanish dub, Choo Choo is called Chucho and speaks in a Yucatecan accent, an accent spoken by people in the Yucatan state of Mexico.
  • For Jellystone!, Chucho is renamed Cuchis yet still speaks in a Yucatecan accent.
• Promo art of Choo Choo mistakenly shows him with a white-tipped tail instead of a black-tipped tail.
• In 2015, Choo Choo surfaced as a meme on social media platforms such as Tumblr. A photo of the episode "Dibble Strikes Back" was photoshopped into various images, and clips and images of the character were highlighted by many users.
