Stitch was created by Dr. Jumba Jookiba to cause chaos throughout the galaxy.

Characterized by his mischievous behavior, he becomes beloved by Lilo, who adopts him as her "dog."

Through Lilo's beliefs in the Hawaiian concept of ʻohana, which means "family," Stitch evolves from a careless, destructive creature into a beloved, more aware being who enjoys the company of his adoptive family on Earth.
