Pūko (プー子) is a Monty Mole/Rocky Wrench who is a member of AKG48 that appears in volume 46 of Super Mario-kun. Pūko's name comes from「プー」(Pū), the Rocky Wrench's Japanese name, and「子」(-ko), a common female given name suffix. Her name is very similar to Choropūko's.
Pūko first appears in the first chapter of volume 46, where she is shown alongside the other AKG48 members. Pūko wears goggles in this chapter, making her take on the appearance of a Rocky Wrench.
Pūko later reappears in the fourth chapter at the Mogura Matsuri (もぐらまつり, Mole Festival), now without goggles, which makes her resemble a Monty Mole. Pūko introduces herself to Mario, Luigi and Toad and gives them a tour around the place. She shows them carnival-like games such as "Choropū ga Tataku Game" (チョロプーがたたくゲーム), a game where Monty Moles whack the participant, and a target practice game that uses a bazooka. She then shows Mario and his friends the food, which consists of mostly aquatic enemies. After putting a Spike Eel in a pot, a Morty Mole arrives and starts destroying the festival due to it being in his home. Mario and the Morty Mole start fighting, with Pūko cheering the former on. After Mario loses, Pūko gives him a super-metal invincible powered suit handed down for generations in the Monty Mole family for Mario to use. However, Mario discards the suit almost immediately, due to it being too uncomfortable. As Mario continues to get attacked by the Morty Mole, Luigi wins two Statue Leaves from a raffle held by a Monty Mole with glasses, which Pūko then tells the Mario Bros. that the Statue Leaves can be used to defeat the Morty Mole. Pūko offers the Mario Bros. a cooked Goomba to eat before they fight the Morty Mole, which they both decline. After Mario and Luigi defeat the Morty Mole with their Statue forms, Pūko thanks the both them for saving the festival, and gives them both a cooked Fuzzy as a reward for their efforts.
Trivia
- Pūko and Hachiko are the only AKG48 members who physically appear outside of being mentioned in the list of the members seen in the first chapter of volume 46.
- However, unlike the chapter Pūko physically appeared in, the chapter that Hachiko physically appeared in did not mention the AKG48. This is likely due to the chapter that Hachiko physically appeared in being from volume 45 (as the AKG48 did not physically appear until volume 46 (excluding sneak peeks), and the chapter Pūko physically appeared in being in volume 46).
