Ponyo (ポニョ , Ponyo), named Brunhilde at birth, is the 5-year old protagonist of the film, Ponyo. She is a goldfish born from the sea goddess Granmamare and a human named Fujimoto. She is known to love Sōsuke and ham. Ponyo has two forms: her goldfish form and her human form. As a fish, she is cute, but as a little girl, she is magical. She has thick amaranth red hair and has only two-piece clothing: an adorable little amaranth red dress with puffy sleeves and white bloomers. She behaves just like a regular five-year-old child: intelligent, adorable, mischievous, and later in the movie, sleepy. She's very happy, sweet, and barefoot all the time. Ponyo appears in the beginning of the movie with her sisters as they watch their father perform magic. She swims out into the open ocean and ends up falling asleep inside a jellyfish. Ponyo wakes up to a fishing boat bearing down on her and gets caught in its net. While she is struggling, she gets her head caught in a glass jar, but manages to slip through the net's holes. She tries in vain to shake the jar off and eventually collapses from exhaustion close to shore.
