Gekota

Gekota mascot giveaway from Crepe Rablm as shown in Railgun episode 1

Gekota (ゲコ太 Gekota?, Yen Press: Croaker) is a popular mascot found in merchandise marketed to children in the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe. A Gekota fan is called a Gekoer (ゲコラー Gekora?).[1] Misaka Mikoto is a huge fan of the franchise it belongs to, and much to her consternation gets her labeled as someone who is childish.

Principles

Gekota seems to belong to a cast of characters composed of frogs. Several characters have been revealed to exist in the franchise so far.

  • Gekota (ゲコ太 Gekota?) is an old man type of character who is known to suffer from motion sickness easily. Because he has a habit of saying geko-geko (ゲコ, ゲコ), the name stuck and he's been referred to as such ever since.[2][3]
  • Pyonko (ピョン子?, Yen Press: Hoppit) is a female frog from the same franchise. She wears a bow on her head and is pink in color in contrast to the usual green of the male frogs.
  • Keroyon (ケロヨン?) is another frog from the same franchise. He lives next to Gekota.[4] HIs name is revealed in Dengeki no Kantsume (電撃の缶詰?) vol.159[5]
