Bo-chan (ボーちゃん) is one of Shin-chan's friends and classmates from the sunflower class, he is 5 years old. Sometimes he is called 'Bo-chan'.
He seems slow and expressionless, but is actually quite smart and has an interest in artistic, adult-oriented things. He loves to collect various kinds of stones, and investigating urban legends and various mysterious objects such as UFOs. He has his own place where he says the rarest stones in Japan can be found. He often surprises his friends with his insight, though he speaks quite slowly. He always has a trail of mucus running down his nose and can perform various tricks with it. Bô-chan always volunteers for the role of pet dog (犬 Inu) or cat (猫 Neko) when the group plays house. After the nursery he likes to go to a Kasukabe store in which tatami is made, he loves to see how they do it.
He is a functionally slow-speaking boy who is passionate about oddly shaped rocks. Like his interests, he's very odd and mysterious, which can sometimes be useful in certain situations. His mother (母親 Hahaoya) has appeared only once in the manga and his father (父親 Chichioya) has never appeared.
He is a member of the Kasukabe Defense Organization.
