{{Nihongo|'''Bill'''|ピータン,|''Pītan''|Petan}} is a [[jock]] [[duck]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}}. He appeared on the cover of {{GC}}, in the background, appearing to be walking up to the house. He has appeared in every game to date so far. His name comes from the name of the duck's beak, a ''bill''. His Japanese name is the word for {{W|Century egg}}, which is a duck egg that has been preserved in ash for several months. He shares the same catchphrase with [[Drake]], another duck villager.

He is featured on the cover of ''[[K.K. Dixie]]'', and he has the [[play]] [[Hobbies (New Horizons)|hobby]].

==Appearance==
[[File:Bill GC.png|thumb|left|50px|Bill in {{GC}}]]
Bill is a maroon colored duck with wide white-ringed eyes, a yellow beak, and a lock of brown hair on his head. He wears a No. 2 shirt, which was changed to the basketball tank in {{NH|nolink}}.

==Personality==
{{pers|Jock}}

Bill has a jock personality and has a great interest in sports and bodybuilding. Jock villagers are hyperactive and motivated, but often come across as self-centered and dense. As a jock villager, Bill is very interested in his [[hobby]], and may compete against the player at catching [[bugs]] and [[fish]]. Jock villagers get along with [[peppy]], [[cranky]], and [[sisterly]] villagers, but conflict with the laid-back lifestyle of [[lazy]] villagers. [[Snooty]] villagers may also be difficult to get along with for Bill.

==House==
In {{GC}}, Bill's house has a kitchen theme, with a a huge amount of furniture from the [[exotic series]] such as the exotic bed, exotic bureau, exotic screen, exotic wardrobe, and the exotic bench. His house has many [[Bug|insects]], along with a phonograph that plays ''[[K.K. Reggae]]''. Bill's [[wallpaper]] is the lattice wall, and his [[flooring]] is the kitchen flooring.

In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, Bill does not have a [[stereo]] at first, but if he gets one, ''[[K.K. Reggae]]'' is played. His house has two bird cages, which is perhaps ironic considering he himself is a bird.

In {{NL}}, Bill's turntable plays ''[[King K.K.]]''

In {{NH}}, Bill's phonograph plays ''[[Imperial K.K.]]''

==Trivia==
*Different meanings can be found in Bill's international names:
**His English, German, Dutch, and Russian name, ''Bill'' (RUS: Билла), is a hypocorism of the Germanic name ''William''. ''William'' is closely related to ''Wilhelm'', both meaning "vehement protector" due to their Proto-Germanic roots ''*wiljô'' "will" and ''*helmaz'' "helmet; protection". ''Bill'' may also be an alternative or regionalization of ''Βασίλ'' (Basíl), a similar hypocorism of the Greek name ''Βασίλειος'' (Basíleios "Vasileios", meaning "royal", or "kingly").
***In English, ''Bill'' also doubles as a pun, as ''bill'' is the common term for the beaks of [[duck]]s and other aquatic birds. This joke is lost in translation (DEU: ''Schnabel'', DUT: ''snavel'', RUS: ''клюв'' (kljuv)).
**His Chinese and Japanese names (CHN: 皮蛋 ''Pídàn'', JPN: ピータン ''Pītan'') are the native name and a transliteration respectively for {{W|Century egg}}s. Literally meaning "preserved egg", ''pídàn'' is a Chinese egg-based culinary dish made by preserving duck, chicken, or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing. This oriental namesake is reflected in his home furniture.
**His Italian name, ''Gino'', is a hypocorism of several names, such as Ambrogino, Eugenio, and Luigino. The diminutive is ultimately rooted in the Ancient Greek ''γένος'' (génos, "born"). Tying into his [[Jock]] personality, ''Gino'' is also common name of renowned athletes, namely football players.
**His Spanish name, ''Paquito'', is an affectionate diminutive of ''Paco'', a derivative of ''Francisco'' (cognate to ''Francis'' "Frenchman", possibly rooted in PGe. ''*frankô'' "javelin").
***His name may also be a pun on the Spanish word for ducks, ''pato'', which it is alliterative and shares spelling with.
***His name may be a reference to {{W|Anderson Luiz Pinheiro|Anderson Pinheiero}}, {{W|Juliano Pescarolo Martins|Juliano Pescarolo}}, and/or {{W|Francisco García Gómez|Francisco García}}, professional football players nicknamed "Paquito".
**His French name, ''Choco'', is a clipping of the Spanish ''chocolate'' (borrowed from Nahuatl ''chocolātl'', presumably from ''chocol'' "hot" and ''ātl'' "water"). This in relation to his reddish-brown plumage and its resemblance to the color of chocolate.
**His Korean name, 코코아 ''Kokoa'', is a transliteration of the English ''cocoa'' (a doublet of the Spanish ''cacao'', itself from Nahuatl ''cacahuātl'') synecdoche for ''{{W|Theobroma cacao}}'', its bean harvest, and related products. Similar to his French name, ''Kokoa'' is self-indicative of his feather color.
**Most of his regional names are diminutives or hypocorisms, which are often used to invoke a sense of small size or youth. This may be to reflect his short stature as a duck [[villager]].
*He shares his birthday with [[Rover]]. They both have their birthdays on February {{d|1}}.
**He also shares his birthday with {{W|Bradbury Robinson|Bradbury Robinson Jr.}} (1884-1949), who was (among his many accolades) a pioneer in American football player. Robinson was the first person in the sport to perform a legal {{W|forward pass}} as well as become recognized as a "{{W|triple threat man}}", excelling at running, passing, and kicking.
*Bill is featured on the cover of ''[[K.K. Dixie]]'', which implies that he knows how to play a trumpet.
*In {{NH|nolink}}, Bill's preferred style is Active, and his preferred colors are Blue/Purple.
