Omochao's character model from Sonic Adventure 2.

Omochao is a robotic chao in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. He is used as the "help" feature during the games. Omochao is featured in the games Sonic Adventure 2 for Sega Dreamcast, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for Nintendo GameCube, and Sonic Advance 3 for Game Boy Advance. He appears throughtout the levels and is activated when touched. He also appears as the menu navigator and on the Sea Gate level in Sonic Heroes and as Cream the Rabbit's chao bombs in Sonic Battle, as well as the announcer in Sonic Riders and Sonic Free Riders.

The robot's origin in the storyline is unknown; Omochao simply 'turns up' without explanation in Sonic Adventure 2.

Omochao is often the source of major abuse, as many players find his "help" more annoying than helpful. The little robot can be picked up and thrown as well as used to destroy enemies (He often hints at this, saying in reverse, "I'm not a weapon to throw at enemies, you know!"). After recovering from being thrown, Omochao says one of a variety of phrases indicating his displeasure at being used as a weapon. Comically, he may also state that he wont help you anymore (which is a lie, of course) or that he can't remember who or where he was.

In Sonic Riders, he was featured as an overly critical announcer, even declaring the slightest mistakes as race-threatening. Again, his comments are extremely annonying, more so now that they directly attack the player and how he/she plays the game. Even landing a "B" ranked trick causes Omochao to say something extremely critical. He also may note a character is "going to fast", which seems out of place in both a Sonic game and a Racing game. Things he'll criticize the player for are overall momentum, race starts, and trick landings, even if these tricks were caused by something like an unexpected push from a rival or turbulance surfing. He also appeared in the Sand Ruin/Dark Dessert cutscenes, where he broadcasted the final race, and dubbed the GP interupted while Jet the Hawk and Dr. Eggman revealed the Babylon Garden. He did not return for Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, probably because an announcer was not necessary. In the next Sonic Riders game, Sonic Free Riders, he is served as the commentator in various story lines.

Omochao's name is a play on the Japanese word omocha, which means "toy".

There is also a weapon in Shadow the Hedgehog, the Omochao gun, that fired Omochao heads at the foes. It was among the games most powerful weapons, probably refrencing to his previous roles as possible weapons in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Battle.

Cinossu has made a hack of Sonic 1, called Sonic The Hedgehog Omochao Edition where you must avoid various objects or Omochao will piss you off/tell messages to "advise" you what to do.
