Each of their names reflects the color of their hair and clothing. Ao means blue, Kii means yellow, and Aka means red. The symbols on their clothing represent the buttons you press to control them- Ao-kun, Kii-yan, and Aka-chan are controlled with the B, D-Pad, and A buttons, respectively.
Ao-kun and Kii-yan have at least once participated in a [[Rhythm Shiryō-Shitsu#リズム漫才 (Rhythm Manzai)|manzai]] routine, with Ao-kun playing the tsukkomi (straight man) to Kii-yan's boke (funny man).
 
The trio are described as close friends. They also are very passionate/determined about being good at tossing, saying "we're good, but we can get better!"
