Chinmari, a toy gecko, was discovered in a vending machine in Japan. Given that leopard geckos are known to be quite territorial and often fight when living in the same cage, this toy is the ideal companion. The confinement of two geckos of different sexes also causes a slew of issues. As a result, Chinmari is suited for the role of Kohaku’s best buddy. Together with his friend, the gecko can have a safe and healthy life.

Kohaku and Chinmari’s fan base includes people from all over the world, and they are overjoyed with their newfound celebrity. Kohaku enjoys posing for photographs with a grin on his tiny face, his tongue protruding, and even a wink for his followers to witness. Leopard geckos come in a variety of patterns, colors, and sizes, and what’s more, they make excellent pets.
