Disney's cute, fluffy, mischievous, family-loving, koala-like artificial alien from Lilo & Stitch (2002) has appeared in a number of anime and manga spin-offs that were made after his last main Western appearance in Leroy & Stitch (2006). In these spin-off appearances, he escapes to regions of Earth other than Hawaii, bringing his unique brand of fun-loving but destructive chaos with him while bonding with different humans who make him part of their own families.
