With Fox added to Velvet's team, I initially thought Coco was an allusion to the cuckoo. But Yatsuhashi lent nothing to the animal motif.

Coco(a) is a sweet drink, yatsuhashi is a Japanese treat, red velvet cake... Fox... there's a British Confectionery called Fox.

Coco's style seems to allude to Coco Chanel. Yatsuhashi Kengyo was a blind musician. The Velveteen Rabbit was written by Margery Williams which may be the real reason Velvet was made a girl. Fox... I don't know...
