Dejiko has appeared in each of the Di Gi Charat anime series. In Di Gi Charat she comes to Earth with hopes of becoming an idol singer. She has green eyes and green hair and her maid-like uniform consists of a white and navy blue dress with big cat bells tied to her hair with navy blue ribbons. On the very top of her head are her cat ears, which are white with pink inside and have a set of large, non-functional lime-coloured cat eyes. She always wears white gloves and boots (with the exception of her sleeping outfit) and she has a white tail. She is consistently seen in this costume in her various series with the exception of Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat where she wears a different costume in her chibi character design in that series.
She has appeared in two Game Boy Advance games, the Di Gi Charat: Di Gi Communication series, and three computer games: Glove on Fight, Moe Moe (as selectable character) and Kakuge Yaro (as cameo in one stage).
Dejiko has appeared in anime outside of the Di Gi Charat series in cameo roles in such anime as Galaxy Angel, Cromartie High School, Power Stone, and Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge. In the Galaxy Angel anime, she is a newscaster working with Puchiko and in one episode, she holds her co-worker for ransom in an endless circle of staged kidnappings that began with the theft of Ranpha Franboise's ship. Dejiko face was as a mask in Koge Donbo's other work Kamichama Karin.
Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network gave Di Gi Charat Nyo's first DVD a review in which he describes Dejiko having a "mercenary personality and butt-scratching manners" with a "frilly-cute exterior".[3] In the prequel Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat, Carlo Santos from Anime News Network describes Dejiko having a temper that "adds some spice to her goody-goody nature".[4] In contrast, in the alternate story Winter Garden where she is now twenty, Chris Beveridge from the Fandom Post describes Dejiko as a "normal young woman".[5]
