Code Lyoko Wiki

Kiwi is the pet dog of Odd Della Robbia, who lives in the students bottom dresser drawer where he has a bed, food and water.

Even though pets are forbidden at Kadic, most of the other students don't mind and actually pet the dog on occasion. The only ones to ever threaten Kiwi's exposure are Jim, Sissi, and X.A.N.A..

In Code Lyoko Evolution episode 18 (Obstinacy), it is stated that Kiwi was sent to live with Odd's sisters, which is why he doesn't appear in Evolution.

Etymology

Kiwi's name is obviously derived after the fruit of the same name, hinting Odd might have a liking for them. Kiwi is also the name of flightless birds that inhabit New Zealand.

Habitat

Kiwi lives in the room of Odd and Ulrich, in the bottom dresser, which Sissi once shut Kiwi inside of after the dog had humiliated her. Taken outside for walks by Odd in a couple of episodes. He also was taken in by Yumi's family in a couple of episodes.

Appearance

12 kiwi

Kiwi, as seen in Satellite.

Kiwi has grayish fur and a long, crooked snout. Kiwi might be a Miniature Bull Terrier.

  • Kiwi's skeleton is seen when Odd is trying to smuggle his dog through airport Security, claiming it was a skeleton, and was a science project, even though it was obviously moving.
  • In several scenes and episodes, it's obvious that Kiwi is not neutered.

Personality

  • Kiwi hates the noise of vacuum cleaners.
  • He's afraid of Kiwi 2, his robotic counterpart created by Jeremie.
  • Kiwi urinates in inconvenient places if not walked.
  • Kiwi can recognize faces, like most dogs.
  • Love chips and mustard
  • Hates steamed vegetables

Relationship with Odd

  • Odd is quite fond of Kiwi. He frequently draws pictures of him (actually of him peeing) in class when he should be paying attention. When Odd is in Lyoko, he has a picture of Kiwi on his outfit. His night clothes do too.
  • It is revealed in A Space Oddity that Odd feeds Kiwi steamed vegetables and prevents Kiwi from eating potato chips since he can't digest them, as well as no mustard because it gives him gas. Yumi mixed these instructions up, to little effect.
  • Despite being left alone many times and even being tossed around a couple of times, Kiwi is very loyal to Odd.
  • Odd tends to call him "my little diggity-dog".

Relationship with people who aren't Odd

  • People sometimes make fun of Kiwi, saying he is dumb (even though he is quite smart). Odd always stands up for Kiwi.
  • In A Space Oddity, the Ishiyama family calls him "Lichi". The name was first given to him by Hiroki.
  • As seen in Big Bug and Exploration, he is quite fond of Sissi Delmas. The feeling is not mutual on the spoiled girl's part, although in the case of the latter episode she treats him nicely so that he can help her father and Jim expose Odd and the others' secret.
  • Jim Morales doesn't like Kiwi when they encounter one another, calling him a "flea-bitten mangy mutt".

Trivia

  • He was voiced by Barbara Weber-Scaff usually and Mirabelle Kirkland once in the English dub.
  • Kiwi was actually caught a few times, usually being fixed by the Return To The Past. This happened in Big Bug and The Lake, to pick a few cases.
  • Barbara Weber-Scaff has commented that Kiwi is one of her favorite characters because she has always wanted a dog like Kiwi.

Noteworthy Appearances

  • In Attack of the Zombies, Kiwi is possessed by X.A.N.A., to bite people, to change them into Zombies.
  • He has also been used to track people by scent. When all mobile phones confiscated in Satellite, Kiwi served as a messenger, holding the notes in his collar.
  • In Killer Music, Kiwi is used as a dancing subject by Odd, even going so far as to waltz with the dog and tossing him discreetly.
  • In the X.A.N.A. Awakens episodes, Ulrich steals Kiwi to be Jeremie's "guinea pig" to test the scanners. Odd is then virtualized for the first time when he goes into the scanner to get Kiwi but Kiwi jumps out right before the scanner closes.
  • Odd planned on virtualizing Kiwi in "Dog Day Afternoon." However, something went wrong in the process, causing Odd and Kiwi to be merged together. A specialized Materialization program was needed to fix this. It wasn't explained how this affected Kiwi.
  • In "Just in Time," Kiwi's ability to hear ultrasounds allowed him to predict the earthquakes.
  • Kiwi often assists Odd in his pranks, such as in Claustrophobia, when he dressed up as a ghost to scare Theo, Herb, and Nicholas out of the Science Building.
