Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In the fictional Future Century continuity of the anime series Mobile Fighter G Gundam, the fast and cocky Chibodee Crocket is Neo America's most famous boxer. As a child, he grew up in the rough streets of New York City, fighting for his life until he finally made his dreams come true, by going to the Neo America space colony, representing it in the Gundam Fight. At the start of a boxing championship match, Domon Kasshu interrups by socking a cheap shot punch at Chibodee and challenges him to a Gundam Fight, which Chibodee accepts. During the fight, Chibodee's bodyguards intervene, but teaming up Chibodee and Domon stop them. As the fight ends, Domon defeats Chibodee, but Domon approves that he fought acceptable battles, and Chibodee promises a tougher fight later on.

During Domon's visit to Tokyo, Chibodee is possessed by DG Cells and fights Domon, but is stopped by the Shuffle Alliance. After a brief battle with the Shuffle Alliance, and being healed after being taken over, he receives the crest of the Queen of Spades.

Chibodee fought in the finals in Neo-Hong Kong and overcame his fear of clowns from childhood when fighting Romario Manini of Neo-Portugal. When he was young, criminals dressed as clowns raided a circus. Chibodee was held hostage, and his mother disappeared during the attack and is presumed dead.

Chibodee fought in the Battle Royale on Lantau Island but helped Domon get to the Devil Gundam by fighting the Grand Gundam alongside George de Sand of Neo-France. His Gundam was damaged when the Grand Gundam exploded injuring both Chibodee and George. However both recovered and helped Domon fight the Grand Master Gundam so Domon could rescue Rain Mikamura and destroy the Devil Gundam once and for all.

[edit] Trivia

Chibodee's name may be a wordplay on fairytale character Jiminy Cricket. Also, his surname was derived from the American frontier hero Davy Crockett.
