Kazuyoshi Torii

Torii, from a 1995 Akatsuka documentary.

**Kazuyoshi Torii** (とりいかずよし, November 12, 1946-February 9, 2022) was a Japanese manga-ka and media professor at Aichi Shukutoku University, formerly associated with Fujio Akatsuka and Fujio Pro from the span of 1968 to 1971.

## Life and Career

Torii was born and raised in Nukata, Aichi Prefecture. At the age of 19, he intended to become a filmmaker but instead became an animator at Nippon TV Douga before later moving to Studio Zero. Having been scouted by Akatsuka, who was part of the company and had a workplace in the same building, Torii would become part of Fujio Pro in 1968 and be part of the idea meetings for Osomatsu-kun, The Genius Bakabon, and Extraordinary Ataro.

After entering manga on his own in 1969, he would publish the "Dr. Toilet" pilot in Shonen Jump as part of the Akatsuka Gag Laughter Reserved Seating feature. The exceedingly scatological content was advised by Akatsuka, who encouraged Torii to break out of his comfort zone and draw something dirty to fit his "dirty face" (which often had stubble due to Torii's refusal to shave in his depression). It was figured that if Akatsuka broke taboos about money in manga, and Go Nagai broke taboos about sex, then it was time for Torii to break taboos about depiction of poop.

Though intended as a one-shot, the popularity caused the staff to extend it to be a regular title from 1970 to 1977. It was also considered to be adapted to animated form, however, the inappropriate title and content and refusal to change it to something more family-friendly caused this idea to halt.

During that span of time, Torii became independent from Fujio Pro and published many gag series on his own up until the mid-1980s.

He died on February 9, 2022 from pancreatic cancer.

Marippe-sensei

Frontispiece featuring the titular character.

**Marippe-sensei** (まりっぺ先生) is a manga adaptation of the Kazuo Funahashi TV drama of the same name. It was written and illustrated by Fujio Akatsuka, and ran as a short-term feature in Ribon magazine through 1959.

## Overview

Both the TV drama and manga revolve around a young teacher known as **Marippe** (a nickname for "Mariko") and her experiences teaching and living in a Tohoku mountain village.

While the TV drama ran for a 44-episode order from November 29, 1958 to September 26, 1959, Akatsuka's manga tie-in was significantly briefer and came in the midst of its run. The *Marippe-sensei* series is an example of a television show lost to time, however, and the manga would be a surviving remnant of documenting its existence.

## Characters

### Marippe-sensei

A hard-working young woman with characteristic braided hair. She gets into many exploits with her students, and is popular amongst them all.

Towards the end of the run however, the students hear that Marippe will be transferred to another school and attempt to form an opposition movement to the idea. Ultimately, as she is needed more elsewhere, Marippe must bid farewell to her class and everyone she had gotten to know in the village.

## Serialization

* Ribon: April to November 1959, as a special feature in the magazines' appendix booklets

## Reprints

Five Marippe-sensei chapters were finally compiled in a volume as part of the "Fujio Akatsuka Complete Works" DVD-ROM set by Shogakukan, after having had no previous reprint.

More recently, they are available as part of ComicPark's print-on-demand books sourced from the set.
Geba Geba Brothers

**Geba Geba Brothers** ( 赤塚ギャグ笑待席『ゲバゲバ兄弟』) is a short-term gag feature by Fujio Akatsuka and Fujio Pro, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump.

## Overview

Three young university students go about trying out jobs, but failing spectacularly through the chaotic results that occur.

## Characters

### Master

A somewhat Chibita-esque young man with freckles and some wild but sparse hair. He is the shortest of the trio, but is the one that will present the other two with an idea for a scheme.

His design, though with some difference, was spawned from Radical 7th Years.

### Benkyouya

A taller, bald student with rather thick glasses. As suggested by his name (literally "study shop"), he tends to be the writer and hard at studying or reading when in their room. His design was recycled for A-suke in the third feature Oh! Geba Geba

### Zenbakaren

A cross-eyed, buck-toothed student who's a little more lax and foolish, and tending to be the one vulnerable in some individual situations when the three are split up in their schemes; being forced into a tub and made to inhale water, or dragged off on a date with an ugly woman from the ramen store.

## Serialization

That's How Things Should Be!! Fujio Akatsuka★The Movie

**That's How Things Should Be!! Fujio Akatsuka★The Movie** (これでいいのだ！！映画★赤塚不二夫) is a Japanese comedy movie very loosely based on the memoir book "I Wrote About Fujio Akatsuka!" by Toshiki Takei, Fujio Akatsuka's editor at Weekly Shonen Sunday. It was released on April 30, 2011.

Although Takei himself is a man, in the movie he is replaced by a fictionalized woman editor named Hatsumi Takeda, and other liberties are taken with history.

## Overview

Hatsumi Takeda is a rookie editor who has just started at Weekly Shonen Sunday, and is put in charge of the famous gag manga-ka Fujio Akatsuka. From there on, the two begin to have outrageous encounters during their meetings together, but Takeda has full trust that Akatsuka will make another successful hit.

For the sake of the movie's loose hold on history, other influential people in Akatsuka's life have also had their names and identities changed:

* Tomoko Akatsuka is renamed **"Toshiko Akatsuka"**
* Riyo Akatsuka is renamed **"Yori Akatsuka"**, with the alias being an anagram.
* A group of assistants at Fujio Pro have the names of **"Hideo Matsuno"**, **"Tetsuo Yamaguchi"**, **"Minoru Mori",** **"Kazuki Sanba"**, and **"Junzo Kaneko"**.

The Genius Bakabon's Old Man

Cover to the eBookJapan edition.

**The Genius Bakabon's Old Man** (天才バカボンのおやじ *Tensai Bakabon* *no Oyaji*) is a manga by Fujio Akatsuka and Fujio Pro, which ran from 1969 to 1971 in Weekly Manga Sunday.

It is an adult-oriented spinoff of The Genius Bakabon, which at the time had transferred to Weekly Shonen Sunday.

## Overview

Akatsuka had previously had experience with Weekly Manga Sunday in 1965, when he serialized his first adult manga one-shot Ostess Kariko. He had also helmed Radical 7th Years in the monthly "Separate Edition" version of the magazine, although it would also be short-lived in itself.

With this less frequent spinoff being based on a concept by Mitsutoshi Furuya, both Akatsuka and Furuya would detail the more explicit adventures of Bakabon's Papa. The first six chapters involved Akatsuka doing the "name" drafts for the characters and plot, which Furuya would complete, although all chapters beyond that would be fully of Furuya's pen (although Akatsuka would still be involved in crafting the plot through the idea meetings).

Some characters that were present in the main *Bakabon* series would get further roles, such as Bakada colleagues of Papa like "You (Kimi)" and "You (Omae)". The series would also be the debut of the Kaoru-chan character, who would transfer back to the main title and then receive a larger role later on in Gag Guerrilla.

After the series' wrap-up, two more one-shots under its name would be released in 1972 and 1973, with Akatsuka returning to the art duty. Unfortunately, the last one of these two stories has never been reprinted.

Bokeo

**Bokeo** (ボケ男 *Bokeo, lit:* "Foolish boy") is a character created by Fujio Akatsuka, originating from the series Nonsensical NO.1 but appearing in various other works as part of Akatsuka's Star System.

## Overview

Stated to be a predecessor to Bakabon as a stupid hero, Bokeo is best described as a fool with amazing strength but an overall go-with-the-flow nature. He is exclusive to the mid-late 1960s Akatsuka works, not being acknowledged after and with the fame of Bakabon and other series eclipsing his own.

## Physical Appearance

Bokeo is a tall, chubby young boy with a grey buzzed hair style, beady dot eyes, and a set of "cheek beard" markings similar to that of Chibita and others with such a detail. He wears a yukata with hatch mark designs, along with a dark obi. The yukata is often a deep blue in color artwork, but can sometimes be other colors like green or purple.

Initially, Bokeo wears pants, but these soon disappear through the series.

As a recurring sight gag, Bokeo's mouth is often shown to change to different types of unusual shapes to express his current emotion; a question mark for confusion, a star, and so on.

## Personality

He is a lax, silly boy with a simple face and good nature. He is unable to really hate anyone, but is extraordinarily resilient and can do well in a fight if he is challenged. Though his foolishness may get him taken advantage of by others, he is assisted by his super-smart cat Tora.

Bokeo may adventure alone, but there are times where he will easily have others tag along or when he will blend into a group of characters in other titles.

## Appearances in other works

* *Osomatsu-kun*
* *Leave it to Chota* (as a statue)
* *Good Morning with Mi-tan*

Fujio Akatsuka's Tarirariran

**Fujio Akatsuka's Tarirariran** ( 赤塚不二夫のタリラリラーン ) is an adult gag one-shot by Fujio Akatsuka and Fujio Pro, serialized in Weekly Manga Action.

## Overview

In this one-shot, we are given a look at a Japan where open sexual behavior and feelings are normalized and not seen as shameful, but rather ordinary. However, in its place, something usually more public and essential to life is seen as the shame and scandalous, treated as if it were as shocking or lewd as sex. That "something" happens to be food, and the consumption of such.

In such a world, people gaze over pictures of food as if they were forbidden erotica, may sneak to watch someone picking daikon as if they were intruding in on a sexual act, and have other similar amusing situations occur.

## Characters

### Yamada-kun

A simple salaryman who like other men his age, longs for some good photos of food and lusts after that "food porn" on the job. He opts to go join in on peeping on a woman washing her daikon, only to be doused with water in punishment and threatened with arrest by the Police Officer with the Connected Eyes.

### Wife

Yamada-kun's unnamed wife. She discovers that their young son Taro has been using a photograph of food and gum to fantasize over, and becomes horrified. She is also shown to reprimand him for still having rice on his face after dinner, and the family must eat with barrier walls up at their table so that they can't see each other consuming food.

### Taro Yamada

The elementary school-aged son of the family, but not to be mistaken with the child of the same common name from Mom NO.1.

Taro attempts to hide his habit of fantasizing over food by concealing such photos and a wad of gum beneath a pillow, while pretending to pleasure himself in case his parents walk in. His parents have no concern about him seeing intercourse, due to how normalized it is, but do have concern over him having a love for food.

In the end of the one-shot, Taro uses the time his parents are busy making love to once again take out a piece of chewing gum and fantasize over a large meal.

## Serialization

* Weekly Manga Action: Issue for October 29, 1978

## Reprints

* Shogakukan: The one-shot is part of the "1970s" volume of the Fujio Akatsuka Complete Works DVD-ROM set, as well as the print-on-demand books from ComicPark.
Ryunoshin

**Ryunoshin** is a common character of Akatsuka's Star System that originated in The Genius Bakabon, but is also popularly associated with Gag Guerrilla and other titles such as Ojisan is a Persuman.

## Overview

Nameless prototypes to Ryunoshin (including the "Why is that?" Freshman) existed for some time in Bakabon before his named appearance in a chapter there, along with Camera Kid, who appeared to be initially intended to be the same character in a different role.

He got much greater use in Gag Guerrilla, however, under the full name of **Ryunoshin Hattori** in some instances. He was a commonly-used character out of the existing Stars in the title, though his family situation, age, and other factors depended on the story.  In the late 1970s to 1980s, he was also known by the names of "**Why**?" (Doshite?) or "**Why Kid**" (Doshite Kozo), for his habit of asking questions.

During that time, he was still treated as an alternative role for Camera Kid, simply not wearing his camera, although the two are now marked as separate entities by Fujio Pro.

## Physical Appearance

Ryunoshin is a short young man with round, pitch-black eyes, a round nose that occasionally drips mucus, and dark hair. He often can be seen wearing a dress shirt with a tie, and short black shorts, although he can also be seen to wear other sorts of fashion dependent on the story.

## Appearances in other media

### Hitachi Television City: Nyarome's Fun Mathematics Classroom

Ryunoshin appears in the special as one of the many Akatsuka Stars seen in the plot (as with the book).

### Advance! Bakabonds

Ryunoshin and the "Why is that?" Freshman were merged into one character for the game, while Camera Kid is depicted as a separate being.

## Trivia

* Though Ryunoshin's established design is simply "Camera Kid without his camera", Fujio Pro will often use his pointy-nosed design from his Bakabon appearance as a way to differentiate the two in LINE stamps and other artwork.
Mama Bargain Sale!

The two heroines in the frontispiece.

**Mama Bargain Sale!** (ママ大やすうり!) is a 1958 one-shot by Fujio Akatsuka, published in Ribon.

## Overview

Midori and Michiko experience tragedy when their mother passes away from illness, and they no longer can live in their home due to the landlord being ready to evict them. A family friend named Kageyama takes them to the city to set them up with a new family, but the motive and the reality behind the girls' new parents isn't as pure as it initially appears.

Midori and Michiko thus must search for a new and fitting family and home that can truly accept them.

The title-drop comes from an advertisement that the sisters see in the climax of the one-shot, as well as it relating to the ultimate fact that they would seem to easily get a good bargain on a decent family by the end of it all.

## Characters

### Midori

A teenage girl, potentially a continuation and art evolution of Akatsuka's original Midori character. She is protective of Michiko, and is a strong-willed, smart girl who believes in what's right and wants the best for both her and her sister.

She and Michiko happen upon Masao after they flee their terrible rich "parents", and ultimately find a new family in the process.

### Michiko ("Micchan")

The younger sister, who is more sensitive and tearful about their situation and gets to experience their first new "mother"'s physical abuse and cruelty during Midori's stand-off with the woman.

Micchan hesitates at the idea of living with Masao's family, but collapses into the snow from the cold, necessitating them to bring her back in and take care of her. It is then decided that she and Midori can live with them.

### Kageyama

A scrawny, tall middle-aged man who relocates the girls to the city and drops them off at the Kuroda family home. However, it was revealed that he did this to be paid a large sum of money, and he quickly departs.

### Kuroda-san

An intimidating and cruel rich man, who beats up and pushes around anyone beneath him. He has a beautiful but just as terrifying and brutal wife. His henchman eventually sneaks the girls out of the house, not wanting them to be subjected to this man or his wife's wrath any further.

### Masao

A young shoe-shine boy that the girls meet out on the streets after leaving the Kuroda home. His parents wind up easily accepting them into the family, as Masao becomes nervous and amazed to suddenly have acquired two new siblings.

Gontaro Niguruma

Cover with the protagonist himself.

**Gontaro Niguruma** (荷車権太郎) is a gag work by Fujio Akatsuka and Fujio Pro, serialized for 4 weeks within Weekly Manga Action.

## Overview

When Gontaro Niguruma comes to Tokyo from Niigata, he quickly finds a considerable gap between him and those who also board at the same home he's staying at, along with others in society that he encounters.

Being judged for his yakuza-like appearance and rough but simple nature causes him misery day by day, with things only becoming worse when his anger comes to a head. It would seem as if just about everyone in the city are just too cruel and not willing to accept him for looking different from the rest of them, as well...

The two men who give Gontaro Niguruma all sorts of trouble in this one-shot were modeled after two entertainers that Akatsuka had grown close to in this time; Kazuyoshi Morita aka **Tamori**, and George Tokoro (who would later go on to star in the *Shimo-Ochiai Yakitori Movie* by Akatsuka, as well as later playing Iyami in the 1985 Fuji TV Monday Dramaland adaptation of Osomatsu-kun).

## Characters

### Gontaro Niguruma

A large, hulking man with a monstrous face but a naive and nervous personality. However, if he is provoked, he can and will get tough with others, and this can result in some disaster. He is exactly 43 years old, and his measurements given as 170cm and 98kg.

He has feelings for the beautiful young woman named Asuka, though finds it hard to get close to her and he is ridiculed by the other men at the boarding home. Eventually, due to all the adversity and misunderstandings from society, he commits suicide by jumping off a skyscraper.

### Morita

A young man with a perm hair style and shades. He is a smoker, which Niguruma is not and becomes aggravated by with such assumption. He and another man named Tokoro seem to make it their sole aim to make Niguruma's life full of torment and ridicule at the apartment.

### Tokoro

A man with a ridiculous pompadour haircut. He participates with Morita in their terrible treatment of Niguruma. After his suicide, they are last seen at the apartment going over his belongings.

### Asuka Kaminaga

A young woman with long, fair hair who Niguruma instantly becomes enamored with and flustered over when seeing her. Though she is kind, he ultimately cannot get close to her, and she is on his mind before he opts to end his life.

Storm Wharf

Cover to the kashihon, featuring Midori

**Storm Wharf** (嵐の波止場) is the third kashihon-original story by Fujio Akatsuka, released on December 10, 1956 through Akebono Publishing.

## Overview

This story is the third and final portion of what can be known as the "Midori Trilogy".

In this book, Midori must investigate a smuggling mystery involving a bunch of bad men in town, as well as deal with the titular storm that comes into the plot. Along with Midori herself, the character ofKunio re-appears from the first two "Midori Trilogy" books, and her friend of Yacchan from A Flash of Light on the Lake is also utilized.

Although this work was not included in the Fujio Akatsuka Complete Works DVD-ROM set, a physical reprint was released in 2006 through Shogakukan to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Akatsuka's start in the mainstream manga industry. It also received a write-up in Shojo Manga-ka: Fujio Akatsuka.

## Characters

### Midori

Our protagonist, as with the last two tales. However, compared to her design in those previous installments (as well as her appearance as Yoshiko in *Garden of the Heart*), her hair is now depicted as cropped somewhat shorter.

### Fujio

A young man that is effectively the same character model and star as Sato-kun/Akira from *Beyond the Storm* and *A Flash of Light on the Lake*, being the main male character out of the group of young people.

### Kunio

A nerdy young man, the same Kunio as we've seen times before.

### Hidebou

A third boy of the group, bearing a more innocent and youthful face along with a rounder nose. Compared to Fujio and Kunio, he would seem to be a newer design utilized at the time by Akatsuka.

### Sho-chan

A bratty younger child who plays recklessly. He is introduced by pelting Yacchan in the head with a small rock, and he tags along with another young boy named Kubou.

### Bad Men

A group of criminals all recognizable by the dark sunglasses they all wear.
The Laughing Man

**The Laughing Man** is the opening theme to the 1999 anime Rerere's Genius Bakabon. It is sung by Booing Sheyner. The lyrics were somewhat reworked for the TV show single version, to better fit its tone. A Spanish dub version was also produced as part of Cosas de Locos, being the first opening theme heard.

## Castilian lyrics

Si te quieres reir

A esta ciudad has de venir

¡Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja!

Aquí el aburromiento

lo mandamos a freir pimientos

¡Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja!

Si a la Tierra le nacieran alas y echara a volar

La Luna se iba a desternillar

Reirse es lo mejor

Mientras de ti me ría yo

¡Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja!

Disfruto y soy muy feliz

Hundiendo el dedo en mi nariz

¡Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja!

Voy a hacer el pino

y al cielo se lo voy a dedicar

y un arcoiris me va a brindar

La la la la la la

Mientras tanto canto y canto esta canción

Soy cachondo, memo

y a veces se me va la olla

Yo soy feliz así

Y canto porque sí

"Esto es lo que hay"

La la la la la la
La la la la la la~
B.C. Adam

**B.C. Adam** (B.C.アダム) was a short-lived gag series by Fujio Akatsuka, running in Weekly Shonen Magazine through 1975, for issues #7-26.

## Overview

The series was meant as Akatsuka's take on the Old Testament of the Bible. As the title indicates, it is set in the BC era and features **God-sama**attempting to teach his creations **Adam** and **Eve** the ways of humanity, while they run into different dysfunctional situations due to their innocence and ignorance.

However, other Akatsuka characters soon show up in that timeline, providing more cast members for Adam and Eve to meet. The ultimate twist in the series comes at the 15th chapter, as God-sama, Adam, and Eve are transported to the modern day and must deal with the strange updated world they encounter.

Ultimately, due to the plan of reviving The Genius Bakabon manga to tie back in to the then-current anime The Original Genius Bakabon, B.C. Adam was ceased at 20 chapters.

## Characters

### God-sama

(神シャマ)

The creator of mankind, who speaks in a Tohoku dialect. He believes that his creation of the heavens and Earth has all been a waste, and he's weak to the orders of his mountain goddess wife.

### Adam

The first human made for the world. However, he is slow and clumsy in whatever he does.

### Eve

The first pretty girl of humanity, crafted by God-sama to be Adam's partner. As with her partner, she is ignorant to the true meaning of lewd words like "Testicles!" (Kintama) and will repeat such things against her master's orders.

### Wife

God-sama's wife, an irate woman who pushes him around. She is eventually killed midway into the series and is not seen again.

### The Snake

A small snake living in the Garden of Eden, who tempts Eve into eating the forbidden apple.

### The Pig

A big who was made with an extra wide mouth, as well as an extra wide anus which causes anything he eats to pass right through his body.

Fujio Akatsuka's Ganbarima Show

**Fujio Akatsuka's Ganbarima Show** (赤塚不二夫のガンバリまショー) is a gag work by Fujio Akatsuka and Fujio Pro, serialized in Shonen Book through early 1967. The original magazine credits also gave attribution to the writer Takuya Yamaguchi, who handled the quiz and puzzle sections of each feature.

It is better known by its later title for all reprints, **Mojamoja-ojichan** (モジャモジャおじちゃん).

## Overview

This series revolves around a middle-aged man known as "Mojamoja-ojichan", and the antics and adventures he may get into on his travels. Though he may wind up in trouble, his quick wits and curious abilities can save the day.

During the run of the series, Mojamoja would pop up in Osomatsu-kun's three-part serialization of "The Downtown Chibita Kid", an homage to the film *The Kid* in which he played the Tramp role to Chibita's Kid. He would also show up as an ending gag at the end of the "Human Teleportation Machine" chapter, laughing a "Gyahaha!" long before the Gyahaha Man character would fill such a purpose.

## Characters

### Mojamoja-ojichan

Lit: "Shabby Old Man", "Shabby Uncle".

He is a mysterious man visually modeled after the Tramp character played by Charlie Chaplin. Little is known about him other than his birthdate of December 24th, where he was born already sporting his characteristic facial hair.

Keeping to his unusual nature, he is a cryptic wanderer and traveler, going about from place to place. In the "Mojamoja Detective Tales" chapter, he takes the role of Chibita/"Chibipacchi"'s mentor figure as the two navigate a mystery in Edo.

## Serialization

* Shonen Book: January to May 1967

Pachislot Osomatsu-kun

**Pachislot Osomatsu-kun** (パチスロおそ松くん), also known as **Slot Osomatsu-kun** (スロット おそ松くん), is the name of two different Osomatsu-kun pachislot games by Daiichi. The first was released in November 2005, while a remake and updated version was released in April 2017.

## Overview

These A-400 model machines are known for carrying two types of bonus round opportunities; "Big Bonus" and "Regular Bonus".

Both games are modeled after the 1988 anime adaptation by Pierrot, with the original utilizing cel-shaded sprites and 2D cut-scenes in the style of a video game. The remake, however, alternates between CGI cut-scenes with three-dimensional models of the characters, and still visuals with 2D designs patterned after the anime.

The theme songs of the 1988 anime are used for the older game, while the 2017 machine has an entirely new soundtrack used. The newer game also notably features the elements of -kun mashed up with cut-scenes and visuals *Osomatsu-san*, as a way of continuing to promote that spinoff. This had to do with it being funded by the Osomatsu-san Production Committee.

Both versions utilize the 1988 voice cast, with the exceptions where the actors passed away or were otherwise unavailable and replaced. The remake is notable for featuring Kaneta Kimotsuki's final performance as Iyami.

Chibita-kun

Cover to the eBook "Chibita".

**Chibita-kun** (チビ太くん), sometimes later simply **Chibita**, is a gag series by Fujio Akatsuka and Fujio Pro. It ran in Shueisha's Shonen Book from June 1967 to January 1969, after its pilot chapter appeared in the October 1966 issue.

It is a follow-up to Akatsuka-kun Can Do Anything in a sense, but now focuses entirely around Chibita as the protagonist with no $-chan to be seen.

## Overview

The series is full of self-contained gag stories, each bearing a much different setting for Chibita. His family situation can vary as usual, along with his job and age.

Some stories involve morbid humor and implications, and there can be grotesque gags employed (marking a precursor to the darker turn that the Shonen King run of *Osomatsu-kun* would take). Some stories may also simply feature outright downer endings to their plots. One in particular can be seen as a prototype to "The Iyami Platoon Strikes" story of -kun.

## Characters

As with the previous Chibita-centric feature, Akatsuka's Star System is used. Fujio Akatsuka himself can also pop up in cameos to offer commentary to the readers.

### Chibita

Our protagonist, who winds up in many unusual situations.

### Iyami

A crafty older man who may serve as Chibita's partner or rival.

### Mojamoja-ojichan

The protagonist of *Mojamoja-ojichan*, who appears twice in a father figure/mentor role to Chibita.

## Reprints

* Asahi Sonorama: 2 volumes, released in 1969
* Futabasha: 3 volumes released in 1974, titled as "Chibita". 2 re-titled chapters of *Akatsuka-kun Can Do Anything* were included as extra content (one in volume 2, another in volume 3), along with three chapters of Phantom Thief 1/2 Face.
* Shogakukan: The Futabasha volumes were digitized for the Fujio Akatsuka Complete Works DVD-ROM set in 2002, while a print-on-demand version from ComicPark came in 2005
* eBookJapan: The series is reprinted in 2 volumes as "Chibita", and was released in 2009. Vol.1 covers the early Chibita-kun stories, while vol.2 features the rest and has the *Akatsuka-kun Can Do Anything*/*$-chan and Chibita* stories placed at the end.
Tetsuko

Tetsuko, then known as Keiko, from the frontispiece of "The Replacement Housekeeper".

### Age

Approximately of late elementary school age

**Tetsuko** (テツ子), also known by her nickname of **Tecchan** (テッちゃん), is a character created by Fujio Akatsuka.

She most notably appears as a star in Kibimama-chan as well as the lead role in Tecchan is Back to Fighting, and even earlier in a *Kibimama-chan* prototype titled The Replacement Housekeeper.

## Overview

The earliest roots of Tetsuko's design can be seen in a background character for Leave it to Chota that only appeared in a frontispiece as a "cute girl" type resembling Akko but lacking the characteristic bouffant/bun at the top of her head. Tomoko Akatsuka's rough sketch for the character even outright had the hairstyle that would become more famous, with the side-swept bangs, and a dress (as opposed to the kimono she appeared in the final product).

However, as far as story appearances would go, her first actual outing as a chaaracter was under the name as **Keiko** in the prototype one-shot but the rest of her personality and design would successfully carry forth to a series; first with her as a supporting cast member, and then finally her getting the lead role in a short-lived shojo feature.

## Physical Appearance

Tecchan is a somewhat tall, slender young girl with hair worn in a pair of short ponytails and having side-swept bangs. She can be seen in a variety of dresses, but a polka-dot patterned one or a simple blouse and pleated skirt can be common to see her wear.
