== History ==
Pikaka had always been a born adventurer ever since he was a little tadpole. He learned about a famous Keronian who became a daredevil pilot, and decided he wanted to become a pilot, too. He always dreamed about flying an airplane all around different planets and performing aerial stunts. However, when he enrolled in flight school, the other students would laugh at Pikaka because he didn't know how to operate his plane, which resulted in him always crashing to the ground. One day, he meets a girl named Sayuri and develops a crush on her. She was very lovely and beautiful, but Pikaka was a little too shy to get closer to her.
After he left the dropped out of school and left his home planet, Pikaka ended up on Pekopon and was adopted by a young Sewashi Hinata, with whom he quickly bonds. Even though he learned Sewashi had a pet mouse, he was not musophobic and developed a liking for it. However, his tail was later damaged by a squirrel, much to his sadness, and eventually, it had to be amputated after a surgery to fix it failed. Sayuri, who happened to visit him, laughed at the fact that he lost his tail early and still hadn't grown into an adult frog yet, but she still loved him anyway. He is unable to obtain any replacements due to Sewashi not wanting to give him any money. He feels a little depressed about his accident, but he is given support from his friend Melolo to pull through. 
As per the request of a teenager Sewashi, Pikaka is later dispatched into the past and stays to help Sewashi's great-great-grandfather Samuel in an attempt to alter the horrendous future of the Hinata family, setting the entire series' events into action.
== Childhood ==
When Pikaka was a child, he was abandoned by his parents for some unknown reason, and he never quite seemed to fit in with the other little frogs in the orphanage. One day, he felt so sorry for himself that he sadly walked along a lake by himself. As he sat on a rock and wondered to himself how he was going to gain respect from other frogs, he noticed something very strange. There was an abandoned airplane sitting by the lake, and it looked like the same plane that the daredevil pilot Pikaka read about used to own. Pikaka was amazed, and wished he could learn how to fly the plane so he could perform aerial stunts. Three years later, Pikaka decided to enroll in flight school. But he didn't know how to control a plane just yet, so he often ended up crashing to the ground. This resulted in him failing his class and his classmates laughing at him, which made him very sad. Since he wasn't able to do very well, he decided to quit flight school and give up his dream of becoming a daredevil pilot. Luckily, he met Sayuri in flight school. She understood that he couldn't fly very well just yet, but she told him not to give up or let anyone get him down. 
Pikaka returns to flight school and joins the rest of his kind. However, his performance was ultimately rich in general and is failing in several areas. However, his poor stamina often results in him tripping and falling. In terms of aviation, he often deviates when using his plane and flies erratically. Finally, while others are proficient at using Anywhere Doors, Pikaka has to search in his backpack for extended periods.
Pikaka and his classmates went through various events during his days in the academy. During mealtime, he and Shinono often display their ridiculously gluttonous food consumption. Along with Shinono and Sunene, they were frequently punished by their instructor for failing simple questions. Together, they all played with children and exercised (which is easily done by Shinono, yet Pikaka and Sunene often fail). He also enjoyed swimming in rivers with Sayuri, as well as trying out new flotation devices.
Soon, he was befriended by a young Sewashi shortly after landing on Pekopon. One day, he wants to make a clay figure of Pikaka as a token of friendship. He is almost done but didn't color the figure yet, and, finding the tail slightly off his expectations when compared to a photo, he orders a squirrel to model the figure's tail after those of the real Pikaka. However, the squirrel misinterprets Sewashi's instructions and does it the other way around. Sewashi is unable to stop the squirrel, which dashes to Pikaka - who was taking a nap - and starts chipping away at his tail. Scared, he starts to run frantically across his room as a helpless Sewashi arrives.
An air ambulance sends both Sewashi and Pikaka to the hospital where he had his tail bandaged. The doctor laughs and claims that it is rather easy to repair. Pikaka assures Sewashi that it will not be painful, and the latter leaves to wait outside. The doctor then starts his usual procedures but is disrupted when a fly caused Pikaka to sneeze, which causes the doctor's hand to slip. The doctor's scalpel cuts Pikaka's tail, causing the poor frog to scream in pain. Sayuri, who has gotten wind of Pikaka's fiasco, visits him at the hospital with a blue rose, while greeting Sewashi along the way. However, she instead discovers that Pikaka's tail had to be amputated. After making sarcastic remarks over his mistakes while trying to hold his laughter, the doctor and the nurse quickly leave the room in a panic. Pikaka initially frowns and then tries to smile, though Sayuri is unable to hold as well - she drops her flower and begins to laugh uncontrollably, much to his dismay.
A sad Pikaka escapes the hospital and reaches the summit of a monument (presumably with the Take-copter), still frowning. He sighs and rubs his bottom, but eventually decides to do something to cope with his depression, and takes out "The Source of Enthusiasm", which supposedly causes the user to become happy. However, after drinking it, a confused Pikaka inexplicably feels even worse. Unable to bear his pain, he cries in anguish and screams about his disasters in life.
Suddenly, a strange Keronian appears out of nowhere. She notices Pikaka lying on the ground and greets him. She introduces herself to him as Melolo, a fellow Keronian. She says that even though he lost his tail and failed flight school, but he mustn't let his failures get in the way of life, and that even though he's made a lot of mistakes, she will help him pull through. Pikaka, now with a sweet angelic voice, happily embraces her. Melolo asks about his sadness, to which he replies that he cried for three days straight. Melolo thinks that some kind of traumatic event might be the bane of his weeping, though he denies it since he supposedly drank "The Source of Enthusiasm". Pikaka checks the empty vial, and discovers that it is actually "The Bane of Gloom". He finally concludes that he drank the wrong potion, which caused him to recall sad memories instead, and he was sad again.
Melolo then informs him that Sewashi went missing looking for him, and he starts to cry again, blaming himself for putting his friend in danger. Melolo chastises him and prompts Pikaka to do something. Considering that he needs to cheer himself up before he can do anything, Pikaka attempted to grab a bottle of "Lemon Limeade" and promptly drinks all the liquid. Melolo notices that it is in fact pineapple juice just as he is done, and he is surprised. But it still gives him the energy he needs to return to his human owner.
As soon as Sewashi sees that Pikaka is back, he and Pikaka embrace, and they plan to return to Sewashi's place, only for Pikaka to realize that he still doesn't have a tail anymore, because frog tails do not grow back after they're removed or have fallen off. Their panic is short-lived, however, as Melolo arrives with Sayuri on a hovering disc. Sayuri, who now has white fabric wrapping her face, hugs Pikaka, explaining that her jaw is dislocated due to laughing at the tailless Pikaka for extended periods and having to hold it on with something. She apologizes to him then comments that even though he doesn't have a tail anymore, he doesn't need one either because it means he's a grown-up frog now. Happy Pikaka blushes, while Melolo and Sewashi happily look on.
