“It couldn't be in the river, right?”
― Cousteau, after losing his house key, Animal Crossing: City Folk

Cousteau (ハルマキ, Harumaki) is a jock frog villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, but was absent in Animal Crossing: Wild World. After reappearing in Animal Crossing: City Folk, he has appeared in every game since except Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

His name is French, and may refer to Jacques Cousteau (possibly a joke on his jock personality). His initial phrase, "oui oui", is French for "yes yes". His species relates to the common French stereotype in which frogs' legs are a type of food.

Despite his appearance and initial phrase in English-language localizations of the game, his name in Japanese means "spring roll", a traditionally Chinese dish. His house also has an east-Asian theme to it.

He has the fitness hobby.

Cousteau in Animal Crossing

Cousteau is a yellow frog with reddish-brown spots. He has a black mustache and closed eyes that give him a joyful appearance. His hands are white and his feet are reddish brown. Prior to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, he initially wears the Rally Tee.

House

In Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing: City Folk, Cousteau has many items from the Exotic Series, such as the Exotic Bed and the Exotic Screen. He also uses the matching wall and flooring, the Exotic Rug and the Exotic Wall. In Animal Crossing, K.K. Reggae plays. Beginning with Animal Forest e+, Imperial K.K. plays on a Reel-To-Reel to fit the Asian feel of it.

Cousteau's house in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a bit different from the past games. It now has an Asian restaurant feel to it, due to the Lazy-Susan Table, salad bar, and revolving spice rack. He still has Exotic furniture, such as the Exotic Table, and two Exotic Screens. He also still has the Exotic Rug, and Exotic Wall, as well as a Reel To Reel playing Imperial K.K.
