Koalas (コアラ, Koara) are a species of villager in the Animal Crossing series. Koalas originate in Australia, lending a theme to some of the villagers' names.
There are eleven koala villagers, of which seven are female and four are male, with three being normal, two being sisterly, one being smug, one being cranky, one being peppy, one being jock, one being lazy, and one being snooty.
Yuka is the only koala to have appeared in every game to date.
With the recent addition and update to Faith, her personality was changed from normal to sisterly.
Despite also carrying their young in pouches due to being marsupials, koalas have no baby in a pouch like the kangaroos do.
