Episode Nineteen

## Plot

This episode details the origins of the corner and how it and all of its inhabitants became Sumikko Gurashi.

### Shirokuma

One day, on a piece of floating ice in the North Pole, a polar bear who was afraid of the cold packed its bags and left for a warmer place to live. On the way, it met Zassou, who was hiding in a bush. Finally, it arrived at the corner, which was a comfy and warm place to live.

### Penguin?

The only thing Penguin? remembers is floating on a river, the plate on its head broken. So, after arriving at the corner, it attempts to find its origins every day.

### Tonkatsu

It's a pork cutlet. 1% is meat and the rest of it is oily so the edges were left behind. It wonders if it'll ever be able to be eaten.

### Neko

The shy house cat. Has a round shape and a short tail. It's small. It's worried about its body shape.

### Tokage

A rare light blue lizard. It's pretending to be a lizard but it's actually a dinosaur survivor. A mother who lives far away. It seems like it wants to meet everyone.

Everyone is different, but me and my friends are calm when we're in the corner.

We get along well at night too. Goodnight.

Tokage's Mother

## Appearance

Tokage's Mother is a large aquatic dinosaur, most likely a plesiousaur. She has pale blue skin/scales, darker blue osteoderms on her back and a long neck and tail. She has similarities to her child, Tokage, notably in her skin colour and fins.

## Personality

As a mother, she is caring and warm-hearted towards her child, as well as the other Sumikkos.

## History

Tokage's Mother was separated from Tokage when it was young for unknown reasons. It appeared to be hiding in the Ocean, and travelling to Corner Lake via an underwater tunnel leading from the Ocean to the Corner Lake under an island to find her child. She first appeared in Episode 20 and some pages in the comics. She was disguised as a aquatic dinosaur-shaped boat by the Corner Lake, when Tokage and the other Sumikkos arrived, and Tokage reunited with her. Though they soon had to leave and go back to the corner where they live.

In one of the comics, it is clear why she had to hide: She and Tokage were the last aquatic dinosaurs on Earth, so if they get found they will be captured by scientists.
Manami Honjou

Narrator of Sumikko Gurashi movies.

   It's my third movie in two years, so I'm really excited!!

The unique feature of ``Sumikko Gurashi'' is that the characters do not speak, and the narration plays an important role.

When Polar Bear's hometown was shown in the picture, I was overwhelmed with emotion because I saw Polar Bear's family. I always carry a furoshiki with me, and when I'm cold or feeling anxious, I wrap myself in it.There are a lot of times when I'm going to work for the first time and my heart is pounding, I wrap myself in a furoshiki to make myself feel at ease. I thought I was the closest to a polar bear out of all of them.

I feel more comfortable in a small room or in a corner seat.I feel more at ease doing what I think when I'm in a place where I don't stand out.I support someone or work behind the scenes.I'm the type of person who feels more at ease doing activities that way.

I think the big appeal of this work is the accumulation of things.I got to see a new side of them, and I fell in love with Sumikko and the others even more!

He snuggled close to the cat with a soft smile that took the world by storm as the originator of healing.

This is the third work in which actor Manami Honjou (48) is in charge of narration. Yoshihiko Inohara (47), vice president of Smile Up (formerly Johnny's Office), who had worked with him on the previous film, resigned from the project just before its release, so he worked alone on this project.

## History

She was scouted and became a model.

She has been active as an actor since 1993. Thirty years have passed since then, and he has been active widely as an essayist and picture book author.

## Plot

Sumikkos and the others are at the Corner Candy Store (Dagashiya) shopping for candy. While eating their snacks and treats they imagine themselves as their food.

## Location

The episode is set in the Corner Candy Store.

## Cultural Notes

Dagashi, Japanese snacks and sweets sold at a low price, offered an alternative to the expensive wagashi. The earliest iteration was Ichimon Gashi, or one-coin candy. Made of grains combined with syrup, this snack was affordable and popular with Japanese kids. Dagashi found their way into Dagashi-ya, candy stores aimed at children that offered simple sweets and snacks run locally that kept their price points low so kids with a little extra change could try something new.

## Cultural Notes

Nearly every city, small and large, in Japan puts on some kind of light display. They’re generally called “winter illumination." It’s all about lights, millions of lights, and maybe even billions of them if we could get an accurate count.From late fall until the New Year arrives, thousands of cities and retail centers put up gazillions of lighting displays that will absolutely stun your visual senses if you’ve never seen them before. As with most all things related to technology, the Japanese have their own special twist on a particular theme, this one being Christmas or Holiday festive lights.

## **Description**

**Agedama (揚げ玉)** are three leftover fried balls of flour batter who came with Ajifurai No Shippo to the Leftover Party Tonkatsu and Ebifurai No Shippo threw. They are all leftovers dreaming to be eaten one day.

Agedama, which literally means "deep-fried ball" is crumbs of fried flour batter commonly used in Japanese cuisine. There are tenkasu, which are leftover bits from the tempura frying process and then there are agedama which are pieces of fried dough made with the intention of being just that.
Tenkasu (天かす: meaning Tempura crumb) is originally a by-product generated in the cooking process of Tempura.
On the other hand, the Japanese tend to call commercial Tempura bits (intentionally produced to sell as products) Agedama (揚げ玉: meaning deep-fried ball).

## Appearance

Three cute little balls range in size and are various shades of yellow. Their facial expressions have to do with their different personalities.

I wanted to be tonkatsu, not fried chicken.Agedama Banzai (Japanese cheer- People shout "banzai" to express their happiness) Born an agedama. I feel lucky.I wanted ot be shrimp, not fried chicken.Each Personality

There is also one with a sauce resembling ketchup on top who has a determined expression, as shown below.

## History

The agedama were introduced in the April 2020 theme, Deep Fried Friends. They showed up with Ajifurai No Shippo to a leftovers party Tonkatsu and Ebifurai no Shippo were throwing.

Their second appearance was for the Sumikko Gurashi 10th Anniversary celebration, Everyone Gathers Together.

Their third appearance was in Episode Thirty-Nine, as characters who live in the Food Kingdom. There are at least four agedamas, shown. Some, the ones with sauce on top, are Agedama memebers who serve in various roles for Tonkatsu King. There is a charioteer, a herald who plays a trumpet and a…flag waver?!
