Dakota Hanesron

Dakota Hanesron is a human/ tanuki-mutant male character in the Chota trilogy. His appearances in Chota are countless and does not appear in one Chota side story.

Personality
Dakota is a serious and unimaginative youth appear in all but one Chota creations. He shares little resemblance to any of the other characters in Chota. He is the 'Ota' part of Chota for both Chris and Chelsea pairings. He is always teased by Dani Artista to be paired with Chelsea DeLuxiora and Christopher Magepie. Midway through Chota I, he does start dating Chelsea. If Dani made a Chota joke, Dakota would retort with Chani or Mani jokes.
