Umemura Tateoko

Unemura Tateoko (Tateoko Umemura) is a Japanese anime series based on the merchandices created by Waku Yaniko for both Bandai and Sega (in turn based on the 1966-1999 manga series for Shogakukan and another manga series under the name of Shin Tateoko Umemura written and drawn by Machiko Yaniko for Shueisha's V Jump).
== Plot ==
10-year old Umemura Tateoko had just graduated from ninja school in Kojo Mountain so she's allowed to go to Tokyo City with Kuma as her caretaker but greedy and egotistical 11-year old Kenichi Masaru (along with snobbish 11-year old Natsumi Takinaru and 13-year old Takuchi "Gini" Huru) from a rival ninja school followed Umemura to Tokyo to capture her and force her to marry Kenichi. When she reached Tokyo, she went into the Marshall household where she met 10-year old American Henry Marshall and she became his best friend. Now accepted as part of the Marshall family, Umemura frequently uses her kunoichi skills to protect her friends (especially Henry) from danger but also envade Kenichi and his gang from capturing her.
