Fujiko Fujio
In a 2010 interview, she revealed that the character of "Pelu" is based on "Moja-ko", a character created by Fujiko Fujio, author of "Doraemon". Another influence for "Little Fluffy Gigolo Pelu" was the film series "Tora-san", about a lovelorn wanderer. Some of the stories were inspired by melodramas for housewives.
