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.
