DoCo is a pop group composed of five female Ranma ½ voice actresses. The performances are done in-character. DoCo has released three albums: DoCo★First, DoCo☆Second, and DoCo Original Karaoke. Some of the songs were translated and performed in English by DoCo U.S.A., the corresponding English language voice actors. Some of their songs were used as the opening and ending themes for the Ranma ½ OVA, as well as in music videos that accompanied the OVAs. A few songs (such as the DoCo version of CoCo's "Equal Romance") also appear on various Ranma ½ musical albums.

Genres	Pop
Past members	Megumi Hayashibara (voice of female Ranma), Noriko Hidaka (Akane Tendo), Minami Takayama (Nabiki Tendo), Kikuko Inoue (Kasumi Tendo), Rei Sakuma (Shampoo)

DoCo is in some sense a parody of CoCo. As "CoCo" can be taken to mean ここ (koko, here), "DoCo" can be taken to mean どこ (doko, where?).

[de] DoCo

DoCo ist eine japanische Girlgroup, die sich 1990 aus den japanischen Synchronsprecherinnen der Animeserie Ranma ½ gebildet hat. Die Gruppe hat die meisten Songs zu der OVA-Serie beigesteuert. Nach Ende der TV-Serie, den OVAs und den Kinofilmen trennte sich die Gruppe wieder. Danach sangen sie in anderen Bands, die oft genauso nur für bestimmte Anime gegründet wurden, verfolgten Solokarrieren wie Megumi Hayashibara oder gründeten eine eigene Band wie Minami Takayama mit Two-Mix. Die Sängerinnen von DoCo bildeten ohne Minami Takayama auch die Gruppe Ties.
