Cousteau is a jock frog villager in the Animal Crossing series who appears in all games to date except Animal Crossing: Wild World.
"Cousteau" is a French surname, and his catchphrase, "oui oui," is French for "yes yes." In Italian and German, he is named "Jacques"; combined with the English name and his amphibious species, he may be a reference to the noted French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. In the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions, he instead appears to be Chinese; in Japanese he is named "Harumaki," which means "spring roll," a Chinese appetizer dish. Additionally, he wears the noodle shirt in Doubutsu no Mori, Doubutsu no Mori+, and Doubutsu no Mori e+, which displays the Chinese character 囍 (xǐ, "double happiness"). In New Horizons, he wears the silk shirt, which is called "Chinese shirt" in certain languages. In all versions of the games, whether Chinese or French, he retains an Asian-themed house with his favorite song being the Chinese-themed "Imperial K.K."
In New Horizons, Cousteau has the fitness hobby and will wear sporty shades and lift heavy dumbbells while exercising.

Personality[edit]
Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.
As a jock villager, Cousteau is energetic and has an interest in physical fitness and activity. He often talks about exercise or sports and may brag about his physical fitness. While often friendly to the player, he may comment on their fitness. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with peppy villagers due to their similar hyper personalities and will also get along with smug villagers, while he may offend snooty villagers by critiquing their fitness and annoy cranky villagers with his hyper personality. In New Horizons, Cousteau goes to sleep at 12:30 AM and wakes up at 6:30 AM.
