Charles "Chachi" Arcola was a character played by Scott Baio on the sitcom Happy Days, and its spin-off Joanie Loves Chachi. He was a cousin of Fonzie (though he usually referred to Fonzie as his uncle) and later dated and married Joanie Cunningham.
Chachi became the drummer for Richie's band. He then graduated to guitar and lead vocals in his own band, starting in the 1981-82 season. He and Joanie moved off into Joanie Loves Chachi, when his mother Louisa and new stepfather Al Delvecchio opened a new restaurant where Joanie and Chachi performed most of their music.
