Biography

Name

Production

Polo from Pola & Roid may have served as the inspiration for Chi-Chi's early design.[5]

Chi-Chi's initial character design for her Chapter 11 appearance, which was re-used by the anime until her reappearance at the 23rd Tournament, plays off the contrast of a stereotypical warrior-woman (including sexual-but-nonfunctional armor) who is also an inexperienced child. Chi-Chi's outfit includes an exaggerated brassier, a bikini-like lower garment, and a cape. This design closely resembles Pola from Toriyama's one-shot Pola & Roid, released in 1981. It was also used by Midori Yamabuki on the title page of Dr. Slump Chapter 89, although not in the story itself.
