Oto is a 6-year-old boy who takes the appearance of an anteater.[1] He is one of the 6 main protagonists in Doki.

Age

He may celebrate a birthday in Doki Never Forgets. A source needs to be clarified if that was him turning 5 to 6, or 6 to 7.

Personality

Oto has his confidence, which does not always fit with their skills and perfect landings. Oto loves to change clothes, costume or hat and always travels with his friend Mundi. The two are the most qualified team in the group (What he breaks, Mundi can fix!). Oto is cooperative, diplomatic, gracious, fair and social, but sometimes he is undecided and avoids confrontation. He may act in a most passive (sometimes unrecognizable) way, but he also shows an incredible understanding and knowledge to the rest of the team. Sometimes, he might seem like a clumsy and unconscious boy, on the one hand, but is fully aware of the world and gives ways to achieve balance.

About Oto

If you’re looking for Oto, the best place to start is at the end of the clubhouse dock, where his beloved float plane is moored. He adores his plane – really almost all things that go “vroom” but especially his plane – and can’t bear to be parted from it for long!

This thoughtful, patient boy serves the Team well as their faithful pilot. His encyclopedic knowledge of geography and climate makes him a perfect fit for the job. Oto doesn’t always join his friends in exploring, once he’s brought them to their destination. Not because he isn’t interested, but because there’s often time for him to scavenge a pair from a rickshaw. Maybe he and Mundi (his best friend and co-pilot) have to guard the plane against marauding army ants. But not to worry – Oto thrives on this kind of challenge. “To the toolbox!”, he’ll say. Or, “Time to improvise!”. Oto always has a ‘brainwave’ or a ‘genius’ idea for solving the problem. (Mundi doesn’t always think his ideas are quite so genius, but by working together and using a little experimentation – they usually manage to figure things out.)

The other area in which Oto loves to do is anything once! It’s not that he’s a big eater – hyperactive Fico is the one with a big appetite. But Oto just loves to try new and exotic foods. Even better, he likes to cook these delicacies himself! He’s a budding chef with a huge cookbook library, and is always trying out new recipes on his friends. Oto dreams of a day when he’ll have his own cooking show – ‘Expedition Chef’ – and he can fly all over the world. His friends don’t always share his palate, but that doesn’t stop Oto from trying kimchi in Korea or in South India.

Oto is the tallest and sturdiest of the gang, with a physical strength that often comes in handy. He is an avid reader, with more book knowledge of his friends. Ask him a question about anything regarding geography, food, minerelogy, weather forecasting, his collection of antique bolts and rivets and you’ll soon forget that Oto is usually quiet. He’s happy to talk endlessly about the topics that interest him! He is good natured, easygoing and loyal, and we sometimes see a goofy sense of humor, too. As the Club’s navigator, Oto is the go-to guy for geography, mechanics, earth science and literature… with a side order of world cuisine.

Family Relatives

Oto is a single child of a single mother, just like Mundi. His mother works as a nurse, so Oto’s grandmother watches him during the day.

Cooking

Literature

Geography

Oto also has an interest in geography, and is also shown to explain to the team about specific geographic terms.

Trivia

Oto is the largest of the team, despite being 6 years old.
Every time Oto is panicked, his voice cracks.
From Seasons 1 to early Season 3, he was formerly 5 years old (the same age as Mundi and Anabella), prior to “Doki Never Forgets”. After the story “Doki Never Forgets”, he is currently 6 years old, which now marks him the same age as Doki, Fico and Gabi.
Oto is the first major character to change voice actors. Oto was voiced by Caden Hughes for the first 2 seasons. However, during Season 2, Hughes hit puberty and his voice became lower, thus he had to be replaced. Starting with Season 3, Oto’s voice is provided by Collin Dean, and after Dean reached puberty, he was replaced by Lukas Engel.
As revealed in the episode “Play with Clay”, his favorite song is the “Piñata Song”.
It is worth mentioned that Oto’s Spanish voice in the series is interpreted by a woman, and his English voice in the series is interpreted by a boy.
Oto’s favorite day of the year is ‘Bring Your Child to Work Day’.
He looks to be the character in the series to own most objects.
