It is not known whether Laki is the actor's real name or just the name of the character he plays. Laki is very popular in theAlolaregion and even has his own merchandise, including blonde wigs styled after his own hair. Rotom likes to impersonate Laki and pretend to solve cases as well.

In one episode of his show, Laki had to find out who stoleMrs. Makani's precious jewels, the Princess Tear. After finding clues on who the culprit could be, Laki gathered all of the suspects in a room and identified the thief, a doctor, who had hidden the Princess Tear inSableye dolls.

In the end, Rotom went back to Ash, but Laki gained a new partner in the form of aChatot after producerGeorge Charino realized the show needed a change in format.
