Voiced by: Miyako Ito

Lucia's guardian who serves as her guide. Hippo accompanies Lucia in her search for her pink pearl, and is among those who voice disapproval of her relationship with Kaito. He is also polite, always putting -さん, -san after every name, even when angry. In the anime, he is shown as Lucia's pet penguin. Later on, he is able to transform into a very cute human boy, as well as a creature called a Hippocampus. In his human form, Hippo falls in love with a Dark Lover, Yuri. In many anime shows Lucia and the other 5 mermaid princess try to get them meet, even for just a short time. Hippo transforms into a Hippopcampus using a key he got while trying to save Taro-chan from Sara.
