Charles "Chachi" Arcola is a character played by Scott Baio on the sitcom Happy Days and its spin-off Joanie Loves Chachi.[1]
The character of Chachi is the younger cousin of Fonzie, first appearing on Happy Days in season 5, beginning in 1977.[2] His main love interest is Joanie Cunningham, with their relationship becoming a common theme for episodes in later seasons.[3] Chachi shares a close relationship with his older cousin Fonzie. Many times, Fonzie stepped in and was able to be the older brother figure that Chachi needed. Chachi is also very close to his mother and his stepfather Al.
Together, Chachi and Joanie became aspiring musicians, and the spinoff series Joanie Loves Chachi was developed when Chachi's mother Louisa and new stepfather Al Delvecchio (the second owner of Arnold's) opened a new restaurant where Joanie and Chachi performed most of their music.[4]
Joanie and Chachi, along with some of his cousins and a character named Bingo, form a band, which was never named in the series.[5]
Joanie and Chachi returned to Happy Days when Joanie Loves Chachi was cancelled, and after them being broken up for a while in the final Happy Days episode, Joanie and Chachi marry.
