Ke Ke Zhu Jiao (可可主角), which translates to Chocolate Protagonist, is a specialized Chinese chocolate brand that focuses on artisanal and high-quality cocoa products. The brand has gained visibility through immersive retail experiences and 'super big brand chocolate factory' themed pop-up stores, primarily located in major Chinese urban centers like Shanghai and Hangzhou.

Originally founded in China, the brand emphasizes transparency in its cocoa sourcing and production processes. It positions itself within the premium confectionery segment, catering to a growing market of Chinese consumers seeking indigenous luxury chocolate brands.
