After the release of the first Crash Bandicoot, Sony Japan wanted a female character that was not as sexualized as Tawna to appear in the sequel, as part of softening the game for Japanese audiences.

{{rewrite|section=yes}} | |||
In ''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'' until ''Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced'', Coco appears as a humanoid bandicoot with a large head, blonde hair and green eyes. Her hair is worn in a ponytail and is decorated with a pink-purple-blue flower. She wears a white shirt and pink sneakers with baggy overalls, one suspender undone. Her design in Japanese media is noticeably rounder and has black or brown eyes. | |||
Similar designs appear in ''Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy'' and ''Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled'' albeit with a pink flower, and ''Crash: On The Run!'' with no flower at all. | |||
In Crash Nitro Kart, she is slightly taller and swaps her original clothes for a white crop top with a flower design and sporty teal pants. This carries over into ''Crash Twinsanity'', now gaining a blue trim and ''Crash Tag Team Racing'', although here the flower is replaced with a pink star. In ''Crash Boom Bang''', her top has a pink trim and has blue shorts. In ''Crash of the Titans'' and ''Crash Nitro Kart 2'', she has gone back to her original size. Her hair is let down and worn in a bandana. She has a similar crop top as before, with a pink star and blue sleeves, as well as rolled up jeans and a belt. | |||
In ''Crash: Mind Over Mutant'', Coco is at her most tall. She wears her hair in a small ponytail and has small blue goggles. Her shirt is stained with oil and wears a dog tag around her neck, as well as beige pants with protective knee pads and an attached flashlight. | |||
Coco's appearance in ''Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time'' takes many cues from her original design, with more stylized proportions. She has blue-green eyes in contrast to Crash's yellow-green eyes. She wears large goggles, a pink belt, and overalls with a heart shaped patch on the knee. | |||
