Mitch Sonichu (formerly Asperchu) is a yellow Sonichu with brown highlights present on the ends of his ears and the base of his tail. He also has a soul patch and wears a lumberjack-style flannel shirt, blue jeans and sneakers. He is supposedly smarter, more confident and better-looking than his previous self.
He is the result of Ultra Sonichu granting Asperchu and the rest of the Chaotic Combo an EXTREME ELECTRIC MAKEOVER, as well as being freed from both his terrible malady and his neglectful creator, Alec Benson Leary.
Mitch Sonichu is interesting in that he is a prime example of Chris not accepting what he sees as "parodies" of his own work, as well as being the result of him actively attempting to change another artist's continuity in the same way he fears other artists are capable of changing his.
Creation
Mitch Sonichu was created by Chris as part of a series of attempted alterations to Asperchu, after it began to involve Sonichu and the Chaotic Combo. Since it began to involve his own original characters, along with the fact that he saw it as a slanderous parody, Chris felt that he should thus be able to "correct" its contents to suit his own vision.
As such, during Sonichu 10, Chris had Asperchu, as well as the Apserchu-universe Chaotic Combo and Sonichu, made into new characters, so that they would not be infringing on his intellectual property. At the forefront was Mitch Sonichu, the character who Chris decided Asperchu apparently "really" wanted to be, because cartoon characters have real feelings too.
After making these modifications, Chris stated in a blog post that, whilst he has no association to Alec or his comic, he would "forgive" Alec for his wrongdoings if he introduced his changes into the Asperchu comic. Alec declined and continued with his comic unaltered, although he would introduce a character based on Mitch Sonichu.
In Sonichu
Mitch Sonichu starts as Asperchu, whom Ultra Sonichu encounters after he enters the Asperchu universe, along with the Chaotic Combo. Asperchu and his companions are terribly neglected by their malevolent creator, and have been cursed with Asperger syndrome. They plead Ultra Sonichu to help them be freed from their torment.
Ultra Sonichu, being the hero, cures them all of their affliction (after they have asked Chris to be forgiven). As they all marvel at their new and improved selves, Asperchu catches the eye of everyone: looking better than ever, he rebrands himself "Mitch Sonichu".
After this, Mitch, like most characters that Chris introduces according to events that occur around him, becomes a background character and proceeds to do very little.

Mitch Chu is a character who appeared in Asperchu 1, as Alec's response to the alterations Chris sought to impose. He is, unlike Mitch Sonichu, a completely separate character from Asperchu, and it is implied that he was at one point raped by Ian Brandon Anderson as a young Sonee. Due to the complicated nature of each character's origins building on the other, Sonichu, Asperchu, and Mitch are frequently confused for one another by Ian (though this is also poking fun at his difficulty in identifying people).
As a not-so-subtle response to the quite camp nature of Mitch Sonichu's EXTREME ELECTRIC MAKEOVER, Mitch Chu is rather obviously gay and seems to hold steady employ as a stylist. Nonetheless, Mitch readily joins heroes Sonichu and Simonchu in their battle against Ian Brandon Anderson, until his tragic death at the hands of Bionic.
