Ko Ko (male) came from Wolong to Kobe on July 16, 2000, together with Tan Tan. His birth name was Jin Zhu. He was sent back to China in 2002 because of his lack of reproductive tendences.

Ko Ko II
Ko Ko (male) was born on September 14, 1995. He came from Wolong to Kobe on December 9, 2002. His birth name given in China was Long Long. Ko Ko means recovery ("fukko") from the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake, which wreaked havoc on the port city.
