Appearances

Boko, also known as Boco in earlier versions, is the name of protagonist Bartz Klauser's chocobo. He has a brief appearance at the beginning of the game, but becomes more important further into the storyline as the party is able to ride Boko around more frequently. Later on in the game, Boko marries a female Chocobo named Koko and they have children together. Bartz is amused by his bird's virility, calling Boko a "stud".

The Game Boy Advance version of the game added a portrait of his face when Boko "kwehs".

Trivia

• In Final Fantasy IX, Boco is the name of one of the cards in the Tetra Master mini-game. He has an appearance similar to that of Final Fantasy V's Boko.
• In the same game, the Black Mages raise a chocobo in their village and name him Bobby Corwen. This could be a reference to Boco, as the first two letters of the first and last names spell "Boco" (Bobby Corwen).
• Boco is also mentioned in Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-. On the Shera, one of the WRO members mentions that she keeps a river chocobo named "Boco" at the Chocobo Farm.
• In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Bartz carries around one of Boko's feathers as a good luck charm and gives it to Squall as a promise they'll meet up again when Squall heads off on his own. The feather later helps lead Squall and Zidane to find Bartz once he is captured, at which point Squall returns the feather to him. Additionally, a chocobo's cry is heard at the beginning of Bartz's EX Burst.
