Dracuko

Dracuko (Dorakyuko) is a Japanese anime series based on the 1979-1999 manga series created by Waku Yaniko for Shogakukan's Big Comic.
==Plot ==
Fuzuka Haraturu is a 5th-grade girl who is just like any other girls: sweet and loving but under her appearence, she is actually a vampire named Darcuko, granddaughter from Dracula, who has powers (such as shapeshifting and controlling animals) which she uses to get back at anyone who attacks her unprovoked (although her powers weaken when she is in broad daylight just like in the original novel) though she also has to deal with Daruk Netherboto, a 5th-grade self-proclaimed vampire hunter and descendant from Abraham Van Helsing who wants to catch Dracuko but it always fails on him.
==Characters==
Fuzuka Haraturu (also known as Dracuko) is a 106-year old vampire who lives in Tokyo. She is pretty evil and sometimes overconfident on getting revenge on anybody who mocks and bullies her for no reason. She is deadly afraid of water since she is not a very good swimmer.
Sakuki Furunaku is a skinny girl of Chinese descents who is one of Fuzuka's classmates. She, just like her best friend Fujiko, is an aspiring comedian and loves to try and make people laugh mostly during recess. She likes to climb trees at parks so she can see planes more easily.
Fujiko Debumoko is a chubby girl who is one of Fuzuka's classmates. She is also an aspiring comedian and, just like Sakuki, also likes making people laugh. Her favourite Weekly Shōnen Jump manga series is Hanasaki Tenshi Ten-Ten-kun.
Batty is a talking bat who is Fuzuka's pet and helper. He is smart but is often distracted by dangos (his favourite food) and his extreme fear of cats and raccoon dogs. He tends to get enraged whenever he gets called a mouse.
Masako Haraturu is a 440-year old vampire who is the daughter of Dracula, niece of Carmilla and mother of Fuzuka Haraturu. She is well-meaning but absent-minded even though she's often willingly training Fuzuka into becoming a real vampire. Daruk's father Marun Netherboto has a secret (if not obsessive) crush on her but she doesn't really know about it since he doesn't know she's a vampire.
Dracula is a 777-year old vampire who is the granddad of Fuzuka, the father of Masako and the younger cousin of Carmilla. He is really cunning but is also sometimes bumbling when it comes to Fuzuka and Batty. His bride was burned to the stake when Masako was still a baby.
Carmilla is a 824-year old vampire who is the grandaunt of Fuzuka, the aunt of Masako and the older cousin of Dracula. She is very vicious but is also bumbling like Dracula to the point of often being far more bumbling than Dracula. Her wife, just like Dracula's, was hanged for her association with Carmilla.
Daruk Netherboto is a boy who is the self-proclaimed vampire hunter and descendant from Abraham van Heising. He is often quirky but is also clever as he tends to set traps for Fuzuka when she out at night (which mostly fails on him). He knows about his dad's crush on Masako but can't really tell him that she (and Fuzuka) are vampires since Marun doesn't really believe in vampires.
