Bakabon

Bakabon (バカボン), created by Fujio Akatsuka, is the initial protagonist of the series The Genius Bakabon. He also tends to appear as a part of Akatsuka's Star System, and is used as the lead in Katta Yoshi's 2014-2016 spinoff Boy Bakabon.
Though initially the lead in the original series, he was soon demoted to being the sidekick of his Papa and there would be various instances in which he would not appear in a chapter at all (similar to the case of Osomatsu in Osomatsu-kun, when Iyami took over in the 2nd run).
== Personality ==
Being an incredibly stupid but also incredibly kind youth, Bakabon winds up having to play a bit of a foolish "straight man" to his father's mischief at times but can often be easily swayed into going along with the schemes out of his own glee and curiosity. Even so, there are instances where even he may realize that Papa's acts sound way too awful.
Though he may often work along with Papa to commit acts that may be quite terrible in their results on others, he himself has no wicked intent and may be confused by the result or also find it successful. In being as dumb as he is, Bakabon is very poor at studying subjects, but has a fairly decent amount of strength and in the first anime, can be seen to retaliate and punish those who bully his younger brother.
Bakabon generally likes to wander about aimlessly as one of his favorite hobbies, and see if there is anything interesting about. As part of his dim behavior, he is considered to be "off in tempo" with his actions compared to the other children around him in the neighborhood and this can lead to them manipulating him to do even more foolish things at his expense; telling him to raise up his leg and say "Hello" (instead of waving his hand), only for him to fall over, or to stare at their pants and wind up suffering others farting in his face. His density can also be seen in him attempting to go fishing in a puddle, or mindlessly giving money out to beggars.
