[edit] Overview

Originally an abandoned Keronian doll, Nuii was brought to life by Shurara and was made a member of the Shurara Corps with the title of Seamstress Nuii (お針子のヌイイ Ohariko no Nuii?). Later, he comes to Earth, and assumes the identity and appearance of Ku-chan, Natsumi's old abandoned teddy bear. After he is found by Natsumi, he is taken into the Hinata Household, where she loves and treats Nuii like a regular doll. Under the instruction of his superior, Gyororo, Nuii starts turning the Keroro Platoon and Fuyuki into dolls. When Gyororo urges Nuii to turn Natsumi into a doll however, the memories of the time he and Natsumi had spent together makes him hesitate, and turn on Gyororo. While suffering tears in the fabric that makes up his body, Nuii is able to hold Gyororo still long enough for Keroro the capture him in a bubble. After the ordeal, Nuii turns everyone back to normal, and flies back to Planet Keron in search of his former owner, carrying with him the memories he and Natsumi shared.
