Gazpacho is a rather large elephant creature who owns a stand in Marzipan City’s marketplace, as he sells fruits and vegetables for a living. He is the primary supplier of Mung Daal Catering, as Mung Daal knows that he can always trust Gazpacho to get him the ingredients that he needs in his dishes. Due to such, Gazpacho has developed a friendship with Chowder, as the two spend a lot of time together; Gazpacho is one of the few people whom Chowder fully trusts, as Gazpacho is never annoyed by his antics, unlike most other residents of Marzipan City. However, Gazpacho refuses to allow Chowder to bring Kimchi to his stand, as he banned him after Kimchi’s stench bothered his customers.

Gazpacho isn’t the most healthy individual in Marzipan City, nor is he the most social. He lives with his mother, whom he both fears and respects; he feels that is mother is holding him back, and attempting to destroy his hopes and dreams. However, at the same time, he seems to trust his mother and often recounts her advice, even placing enough faith in it to pass along the advice to his friend, Chowder. Throughout the series, he expressed interest in becoming a ninja, as well as a comedian and an ice-dancer, though he’s usually content to just sit at his stand and talk to his customers all day long. He may not be the most charismatic guy in the world, and his mother may not love him as much as he would like, but he is an honest merchant.
