Dipp is a cousin of the Prince, first introduced in Katamari Damacy, and appearing in all sequels as well. He looks like a disco ball who enjoys being noticed and loves to have fun. His overall appearance changes between Katamari Damacy and We ♥ Katamari. He's a funk music junkie who loves getting funky. On the website, it is stated he is inconspicuous during the daytime. He is a night owl. In the first installment, he appears with round strobe lights and in the sequels dons star-shaped strobe lights. He also changes to "+"-shaped strobe lights in Me & My Katamari, but this is possibly just due to the downgrade in graphics.
Appearance[]
Dipp's REROLL design
Katamari Damacy[]
Dipp is covered in circular lights and wears yellow pants.
We ♥ Katamari[]
Dipp's circular lights have been replaced with star-shaped ones. His pants are now chartreuse.
Me & My Katamari[]
Dipp's star lights have been replaced with plus sign-shaped ones, presumably due to the technological limitations of the PSP.
Beautiful Katamari[]
Dipp's lights have returned to their star shape from We ♥ Katamari.
Katamari Forever[]
Dipp's design does not change in this game.
Touch My Katamari[]
Dipp's pants are now purple. It is unclear if this design change comes from a fusion with another cousin.
Katamari Damacy REROLL[]
The sides of Dipp's head are now covered by a continuous pattern of star lights instead of having one big star each. Strangely, despite Katamari Damacy REROLL changing many cousins' designs to resemble their Katamari Damacy designs more, he retains his purple pants from Touch My Katamari.
