Cocoron (ココロン Kokoron) is a 1991 video game developed by K2 and published by Takeru for the Famicom.
Cocoron is a side scrolling action game. It features full character customization, allowing players to build a character from a toy box filled with spare parts.
Cocoron was directed by Akira Kitamura, who had previously directed Mega Man and Mega Man 2. Kitamura had left Capcom to form the company Takeru. The score was created by Takashi Tateishi, who also did the music to Mega Man 2. According to Tateishi, Kitamura requested "more cutesy" music for the game than previous titles. The artist for the game was Takashi "Utata Kiyoshi" Kogure.
Capcom wanted to release Mega Man 3 to market before Cocoron, and they refused to delay the title despite internal problems of production.
