The King of All Cosmos (Katamari Damacy)

The King of All Cosmos is one of the main recurring characters of the Katamari series and the one who assigns his son The Prince to collect items with the magical katamari. Throughout the series, The King's life and backstory is slowly revealed. The King's Father, the Previous King of All Cosmos, also known as Papa, raised the King as a competitor while The King goes through many different events in his life such as meeting The Queen. In all of the games, his voice is usually heard as a record scratch, although during the credits of We Love Katamari, his supposed "true" voice sang the song "A Song for the King of Kings

Why He Rocks

 * 1) As a father, he truly cared for his son ever since The Prince was born. Even though he could be rough, impatient, and hard to please whenever he gives The Prince a duty, he only wants him to have success against all odds.
 * 2) The King is shown to adore all of the joys of life. From his own family to rolling katamaris.
 * 3) There are times when he regrets doing bad things like when he expressed regret for punching Papa as shown in We ♥ Katamari.
 * 4) Later on in his backstory, both The King and Papa reconcile and they started to get along pretty fine after Papa fished out a second-place trophy that did belonged to The King when he was little. It's relatable since many people who see The King's relationship towards Papa is complex at first, but ends up getting along.
 * 5) He is able to make new stars and a new moon with The Princes help because he accidentally destroys all the stars in the sky. While talented, he realized that the people of Earth were fascinated with the katamari and wanted The King to make more stars. This lead The King to fulfill the fans requests.
 * 6) *Not just the cosmos, The King was able to do other kinds of helpfulness like in Me & My Katamari, he along with The Prince and his cousins to make new islands for the animals after somehow creating a tsunami that washed all of the animals' islands.
 * 7) He has a unique and bizarre speech pattern such as using the royal "we" (using "we", "our", and "us" in place of "I", "my", or "me") or saying some quirky stuff that feels psychedelic for a game that he comes from. In fact, he would emphasize words simply because they fit will with the theme of a level.
 * 8) He has a way of making players feel what they for the accomplishments due to a katamari's size quota thanks to his unique personality. Depending on the size of the katamari, he can either congratulate you or make players hope that they can earn his approval while The King acts as his fun self as you would expect.
 * 9) Even if he berates the Prince, the Cousins, or the players themselves, he can do passable comedy when he does that.
 * 10) His childhood backstory as presented in We ♥ Katamari is rather sympathetic because The King has gone trough many troubles that he has faced during his younger years.
 * 11) At the end of Touch my Katamari, he does claim that acting all strict and mean wall all just an act meaning that he does have a hidden heart of gold.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can be arrogant like when he thinks he's the one rolling up katamaris instead of the Prince, just so he can complain about how tired he is.
 * 2) He would give harsh punishments to the The Prince and even his nephews if his tasks are not completed.
 * 3) He's not nice when The Prince rolls up his random dreams.

Trivia

 * When a katamari rolls up a cousin, after completion of the stage, the King often asks them what they're doing on Earth, which is strange due to the fact that Earth is the only known inhabited planet.
 * The King's mother is never shown nor mentioned in any of the games. This could probably serve as a reason why he and the Prince are very different, despite both having aggressive fathers.
 * The King might have been adopted by Papa, which would explain a non-existent mother figure. The King's father also already seemed to be quite old by the time the King was very young, and possibly needed an heir to pass the crown to.
 * The King shows no resemblance of his father, having a gray skin tone and a flamboyant yet self-conscious personality.
 * Has a official Twitter account.
 * Just like the Prince, the King had an antenna on his head when he was young. However, once he was an adult (as portrayed in Katamari Damacy), his antenna disappeared. Interestingly enough, the Queen and Papa have the same characteristic. It is unknown if it sinks into the skull or it just falls off, but it is implied that the Prince and his cousins will have the same characteristic as well, once they are adults. Also, it seems that his face becomes complex as he become an adult while the Queen doesn't, meaning the males of his kind will change in face while the females' faces remain the same.
 * In The King's description in the Collection menu from We ♥ Katamari, he and the rest of his kind has the ability to shrink down into normal human height depending on their mood and the local atmospheric temperature.
 * As mentioned before, his "true" voice can be heard in A Song for the King of Kings.
