+10 Pink Cartoon Characters Explained

October 28, 2026

The purple bows give Babs Bunny away; the walking stick belongs to Lotso. Small details like these can help put a name to a familiar pink character.

Pink Panther

Pink Panther

The Pink Panther began in the animated opening titles of Blake Edwards’s film The Pink Panther. The title animation was made by DePatie–Freleng.

His long limbs, narrow face and small yellow eyes give him a very different shape from the rounder characters below. The pale muzzle breaks up an otherwise almost entirely pink body.

Pinkie Pie

Pinkie Pie

A party is rarely far away when Pinkie Pie appears in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Her pink coat and darker, curly mane match the energy of a pony who gets particularly excited about surprises and celebrations.

Patrick Star

Patrick Star

Patrick lives under a rock in Bikini Bottom and is SpongeBob’s best friend.

Green shorts with purple flowers are the sea star’s familiar outfit.

Babs Bunny

Babs Bunny

Babs Bunny belongs to Tiny Toon Adventures. The pink rabbit pictured here wears a yellow top, a purple skirt and matching bows on her long ears. She also appears in the reboot, Tiny Toons Looniversity.

Majin Buu

Majin Buu

The rounded Majin Buu shown here has pink skin, a purple cape and white trousers. His antenna curls above his head, and a large M marks his belt.

Buu takes several forms across Dragon Ball; the rounded figure pictured here is known as Majin Buu (Good).

Amy Rose

Amy Rose

Amy Rose is the pink hedgehog from the Sonic games, also seen in Sonic Prime. Her Piko Piko Hammer is a signature weapon. In the familiar design pictured here, a red dress and boots sit alongside pink quills, white gloves and gold bracelets.

Lotso

Lotso

Lotso, short for Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear, is the strawberry-scented teddy bear from Toy Story 3. His plush coat is a muted pink, with a pale muzzle and belly and a purple nose. The walking stick is another clue to his identity.

Starfire (Teen Titans)

Starfire (Teen Titans)

Starfire’s pink is in her hair, not her skin. In the Teen Titans illustration here, the long reddish-magenta hair trails behind an orange face and purple outfit. She is a princess from Tamaran who makes a new home on Earth with the Titans.

Piglet (Winnie the Pooh)

Piglet (Winnie the Pooh)

Piglet is Pooh’s little pig companion. Disney’s version has pale pink ears and a darker striped shirt that covers most of his small body. Two tall ears above a narrow face distinguish him from the broad, rounded bear designs in this list.

Toadette (Super Mario)

Toadette (Super Mario)

Toadette’s pink cap has white spots and two round extensions at the sides. She is a member of the Toad species in Nintendo’s Mario games, appearing in kart races as well as the treasure-hunting adventures of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

Princess Bubblegum

Princess Bubblegum

Princess Bubblegum comes from Adventure Time. Her hair falls in one long pink shape, almost reaching the hem of her dress. A gold crown and purple collar are small accents against the much larger areas of pink.

Snagglepuss

Snagglepuss

A white collar, cuffs and a bow tie give Snagglepuss a dressed-up appearance without covering his pink fur. His wide muzzle and long tail make a useful contrast with the slender Pink Panther at the start of the list.

Kirby

Kirby

Kirby is the pink, round hero of Nintendo’s game series. He inhales enemies and, in many of his games, can copy abilities from certain ones. Red feet and darker pink cheeks supply almost all the extra color in his simple design.

Pink Ranger: a live-action comparison

The Pink Ranger is a role held by different characters across the live-action Power Rangers series. Pink identifies the suit.

Mia Watanabe is the Pink Ranger in Power Rangers Samurai.
