Tippy

Tippy is a female Angora rabbit kept at Rabbit House, but her true identity is the owner of Rabbit House and Chino's grandfather. Due to being a rare breed of rabbit, she was initially mistaken for a "dog" by Chiya and often called a "furball" by Rize. Typically, she is found sitting on her granddaughter Chino's head, and her fluffy appearance makes her liked by Cocoa, who also sometimes carries her on her head when Chino is not around.

The reasons and circumstances for her current appearance have not been revealed in the story, but according to Chino's lines in the play, her grandfather has passed away. Although she appears as a rabbit, she resists being hugged by young girls like Cocoa. She also met Cocoa during his lifetime and at that time wished to become a rabbit, although he actually did not want to because "it seems uncomfortably hot in the summer," and he later talked about not wanting to be a rabbit like Tippy. Nevertheless, he seems to have grown attached and confident in his appearance as a rabbit.

In his human days, he was a stylish man who enjoyed playing chess. His true identity is kept a secret from everyone except his family, and usually, when he speaks, it is passed off as Chino's ventriloquism, but he often speaks on his own, even in Chino's absence. He holds his granddaughter Chino dearly, often checking up on her and getting shocked when she is engrossed in other things. When Chino worried about Tippy returning to the sky, he mentioned being turned away at the gates of heaven.

He met a young Cocoa on a park bench about 10 years ago, making him quite old in rabbit years. He occasionally uses falsetto, which had been comforting to Aoyama during his lifetime but was described by her as a "creepy voice."

He seems to have a significant attachment to the café he started himself, and he was anxious about Chino not continuing the family business when she started ballet. When Cocoa impulsively suggested starting darts or blow darts at Rabbit House, he preferred darts to maintain the atmosphere of the shop. He also shows a strong sense of rivalry with his son, Takahiro, getting moody when Takahiro is highly praised as a bar master or celebrated for the aforementioned blow darts.

Chino's emotions and expressions sometimes link with Tippy's. In some episodes, his emotions also link with Cocoa’s.

On the train back from Cocoa's hometown to the timber-framed town, Master was relieved to hear Chino talk about her future dreams and went back to heaven. Since then, he has appeared as a non-speaking Angora rabbit.
