History

His only appearance was made in "Nana's Invitation", where Cooku was jealous and cross of Tayo and the other buses, because he was talking to Nana most of the time. When Hana told him that Tayo and his gang are going to see the fireflies, he was worried that they might get hurt. When Cooku invites Ractor & Champ to come to the rescue, he tells Hana that he has a spare tyre on his back after Ractor pulls him. Later, Tayo and Cooku became friends.
