He is very loyal to his friends and will often put himself at risk to protect them.

In the series
In "Tenkai Dragon Cube", Chooki is seen in the museum during Guren and Ceylan visit. However, his appearance in that episode is more of a cameo than of a character, who actively plays a role in the plot. He appears again later in as the Tenkai Knight Lydendor.

In "The Rising Fire", he appears together with Toxsa, and like Toxsa isn't convinced by Guren that the four of them can work together like a team, he later changes his mind.

In "The Power of Four", Chooki notes that they are starting to come together as a team. Later on Quarton, he and the other boys discover that they can combine their Tenkai Knights to become something more powerful, the Protojet.

Later in "Vilius Revealed", Chooki's confidence starts to swell after he and the other boys capture another Dragon Cube. Vilius decides to face them. After losing both the battle and many Corekai soldiers, Chooki admits that he and the others were far too full of themselves.

In "The Tenkai Kid", the boys ask Mr. White for some help, but he instead gets Chooki and the others to help him clean up the store. Guren believes in Mr. White's chores are helping them to train, but Chooki is skeptical. Chooki later confronts Mr. White about his claims of whether or not he's actually been training them in anything other than housework. Mr. White points out that what form the training takes isn't as important as whether or not one believes in the training. Chooki later points this out to Guren when he, as Bravenwolf is about to be defeated by Vilius. With Chooki's encouragement, Guren is then able to unlock his Titan Mode for the first time.

In "Chooki's Mojo", Chooki is hit by Granox Jinx Cannon in order to save Toxsa. Chooki became clumsy and unable to do just about anything, and decided to "bench" himself until a solution could be found. Toxsa then offered Chooki a gift, a precious family heirloom that brings it's holder good fortune. Touched by the gift Chooki the offered to go back to Quarton when they received the summons. When he traveled there with the others, Chooki was able to overcome the jinx thanks to Toxsa's encouragement and unlocked his Titan Mode in the process.

In "Dragon's Key", Chooki and Guren try to find a clue about the White Dragon Key. The pair find a sign which takes them to another and another, Chooki almost catches a glimpse of Gen while he's examining one of the signs. When they finally do find the Key, Chooki quickly realizes they must get through the booby traps set around it first. Chooki guides Guren and they manages to get the key.

Later in "Vilius Unleashed", Chooki and Guren travel to Quarton with the key thanks to Boreas. They then manage to unite the five Cubes are into one and open it with the Dragon Key, awakening the Tenkai Dragon. Unfortunately, Dromus captures the Dragon as he and Guren are riding atop it. The corrupt Knight then transports it to Corrupted headquarters.

In "Robofusion!", Mr. White takes Chooki and the other boys fishing. Everybody catches a fish, except Chooki. He takes this very badly and wishes to keep trying until he catches a fish. Meanwhile on Quarton, Dromus is now able to withdraw the Tenkai Dragon's energy. With this energy, Slyger, Granox, a corrupted soldier, and a Sho acquired the ability to robofuse. Chooki uses what he's learned about fishing to help the Knights defeat the new robofusion, but he's still unable to catch any fish back on earth.

In "The Key to Evil", after Beni tricks the boys and sends them to Quarton, Chooki meets Guardian Eurus. He then fights against a clone of himself created by Urius. When it appears they are going to lose against their doubles, Chooki watches as Guren and Ceylan unlock Titan Fusion and destroy the clones.
