The ghosts in this work are not the typical “ghosts,” “spirits,” or “monsters” one might imagine, but rather distinct living creatures. They can fly through the air (Q-Taro can reach a top speed of 40 km/h and travel up to 50 km at a time), vanish, pass through walls, possess considerable strength, stuff anything into their mouths (though stuffing too much prevents them from passing through walls), converse with animals, and transform (though this requires learning to do properly).
00:21In this film, the main character, the ghost Kyutaro, is far from scary; he is actually quite charming. He happens to end up staying at a boy's house, and together with other ghosts, he causes trouble for his friends and the other residents.
00:41Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:44Ghost Kyutaro was originally written by Fujiko Tokichi and aired for a total of 510 episodes between 1985 and 1987.
00:58The story begins one night when a shining object falls from the sky onto a riverbed.
01:05The next day, the Ohara family celebrates their mother's birthday, and Shota, the second son, is on his way to the cake shop to pick up a birthday cake, when he is captured by Godzilla, the bully of the gang, and forced to go to the riverbank for baseball practice.
01:23Later, while reluctantly practicing, he is searching in the grass for the ball he was unable to get, when he trips over a stone and hits his head on an egg-shaped object.
01:34Suddenly, the shell of the object begins to crack, and just as they are surprised, it suddenly starts to move, and out from inside comes a strange creature dressed like a ghost who calls himself Kyutaro.
01:48Shota is stunned, but the ghost disappears before he knows it, so he goes to get the cake immediately after practice, but for some reason the ghost appears again and follows Shota.
02:01Shota tries to escape somehow, but is persistently pursued, so he has no choice but to go to the cake shop with them.
02:11They successfully purchase the cake and hurry home, but for some reason, Kyutaro thinks the cake is for him and eats it.
02:22Seeing this, Shota is filled with anger and yells abuse at Kyutaro before leaving, but Kyutaro, who is left behind, understands why Shota was angry and feels guilty.
02:36Meanwhile, Rakutan's Shota returns home and worries about what to do with the cake that was eaten, while Kyutaro orders a cake, receives it, and then disappears without paying.
02:49Later, at Shota's house, his mother's birthday party begins as planned, but when Shota is asked about the cake, the moment he tries to tell the truth, a cake suddenly appears floating in the air and lands on the table.
03:07Of course, the person in question turns out to be Kyutaro, who disappears with the cake in hand, and the birthday party ends without incident.
03:15After the event, in Shota's room, Kyutaro tells him that he hasn't paid the cake shop yet, so Shota has no choice but to take money from his piggy bank and pay for the cake.
03:31After this, Kyutaro begins living with the Ohara family and becomes known as a troublesome ghost at school and in the neighborhood.
03:39Now, let me introduce the main characters.
03:46Kyutaro is the main character of this work, a ghost born from an egg, who can materialize his body, three hairs, legs, eyes, and mouth by wearing a special material called Baketron.
04:02When he was born, he happened to meet Shota and ended up at his house, and from then on he travels around with Shota and supports him. However, apart from disappearing and flying, he is about as good as Oi, is not good at transforming, is slow-witted, is quite mute, and hates dogs, so he has many flaws and does not seem to be much use to the role.
04:25Pico is Kyutaro's younger sister, a smart and pretty girl who has come to the human world from the ghost world to study abroad, and is being taken care of by the Kawaii family.
04:38Unlike his older brother, Kyutaro, he is quick-witted, intelligent, and good at disguising himself, but he is not good at cooking or sewing, and does not seem to have much interest in romance between men and women.
04:50Ojiro is Kyutaro's younger brother, and he brought him with him when Kyutaro returned to the human world after returning to the land of ghosts.
05:02He is still a toddler and can only speak in disguised language, so he needs Kyutaro to interpret for him, but throughout the play he displays destructive power that is out of proportion to his small physique.
05:17Yuko is a tomboyish ghost who came to the human world longing to live with the Koizumi family.
05:27Although Kyutaro has feelings for her, she is short-tempered, violent, and quick to anger. She is also a master of judo, and is able to throw even the bully Godzilla.
05:40Doronta is a ghost from Texas, USA who speaks Japanese with an English accent and is staying with the Kaminari family.
05:51In addition to coming from a wealthy princely family, he can fool anyone, is intelligent and has excellent athletic ability, so he is also narcissistic and conceited, and always makes fun of Kyutaro.
06:05Ohara Shota, nicknamed Sho-chan, accidentally discovers a Kyutaro egg while practicing baseball with his friends. When Kyutaro returns from the egg, he is followed around by the egg, but they eventually become friends and live together.
06:24Kyutaro, who is just as unimpressive as me, ends up helping me out in various ways, and we gradually become closer friends.
06:33The name seems to come from Shotaro Ishinomori.
06:41Ohara Shinichi, nicknamed Sho-chan, is Shota's older brother and a middle school student who is doing better academically than Shota.
06:50At home he spends his time listening to music as an audiophile, but at school he quickly confesses his feelings to girls whenever he has a crush on them, only to be rejected almost every time.
07:01Yocchan is Shota's classmate, an honor student and beautiful female student, and her family is wealthy and has a villa on the plateau.
07:14Because he treats everyone kindly, he is popular with the male students, including Shota and Godzilla, but he only sees them as friends and not as members of the opposite sex.
07:25Godzilla is Shota's classmate and a bully who always has his three underlings with him.
07:34Although she is often mean to Shota and Kyutaro, her sister is also kind and passionate about her friendships, and generally treats them as normal friends.
07:47Kizakizao is Shota's classmate, and because he comes from a wealthy family, he is always given new products and expensive things, and he has a habit of bragging about them to his friends.
08:02He sometimes shows signs of rivalry with Godzilla, so he doesn't always wear a waistcoat.
08:10The professor is Shota's classmate, and is extremely intelligent and loves to invent things, but he is also a pushover and sometimes behaves in a foolish manner.
08:24He always wears a baggy school uniform and appears to be bald despite being a young boy, but in the manga he has distinctive facial features with his eyebrows shaped like teeth, his right eye shaped like a tooth, and his left eye shaped like the character for "back."
08:44Ohara Shosuke and Setsuko are the parents of Shota and Shinichi. Shosuke works for a subsidiary and is promoted to section manager in the story.
08:55Setsuko is a kind housewife, but while she is always troubled by Kyutaro's big troubles, she, like her husband Shosuke, thinks of Kyutaro and Daijiro as her own children.
09:11Koike is an uncle who lives near Shota's house and always eats instant ramen.
09:19However, after they got married, his wife wouldn't let him eat instant ramen, and there was an episode where Shota and Kyutaro secretly tried to give it to him.
09:28Mr. Koike is a short-tempered and stubborn old man who lives next door to the Ohara family.
09:37When Doronpa first arrived, he tried to chase him away, but since he had lost his wife and was living alone, he gradually began to breathe and become restless, and from then on he loved Doronpa like his own child.
09:51As an aside, the title of this work was originally decided to be just "Hunting the Ghost Marutaro", but
10:02When the author came across the story of the old man Akuseiden in a bookstore he visited while on a walk, he decided to use the character kyu because he thought it sounded charming or spooky.
10:14The author has stated that the ghosts in this work are individual creatures with special abilities such as the ability to fly and pass through walls, and do not refer to spirits or ghosts.
10:29In addition, this is the third work to be adapted into an anime, but the first work sparked a social phenomenon known as the Obaku Boom.
10:41Since then, he has become widely known in society as Fujiko Fujio, the creator of comedy manga.
10:47Furthermore, the theme song was a big hit, and in 1966 it won the 8th Japan Record Award, while Obakuyuu character products sold like hotcakes.
11:01The profits were enough for Shogakukan to build its own building in 1967.
11:07Also, when the manga was serialized, Fujimoto and Abiko were in charge of the main characters, but in the episodes where Studio Zero was involved in the illustrations,
11:19Characters from works by Shotaro Ishimori and Fujio Akatsuka appeared.
11:24In addition, when Fujimoto and Abiko became independent in 1987,
11:32It is recorded that Obake no Kyutaro was the last collaborative work between the two.
11:40And as a spin-off work of this work, the short story "Obakyu" is
11:46It was serialized in Big Comic in 1973 and made into an anime movie.
11:521986, Kyutaro the Ghost, Jump Out, Bakebake Daisakusen,
11:58In 1987, the film Ghost Kyutaro: Jump Out, 1/100th Great Operation was also released.
12:09Now, it's finally the final episode.
12:11Tomorrow, my parents will be visiting me for the first time in a while.
12:17Kyutaro and Oojiron were feeling excited and were planning to invite Biko and Yuko to go to an amusement park.
12:25And when she returned home from her errand with a big smile on her face,
12:30Kyutaro receives a letter from his parents in the shape of a leaf from his mother.
12:36Although I had a bad feeling about the sudden letter, I read it.
12:40My hunch was spot on. The letter read,
12:44It said that his parents' visit had been cancelled due to him taking time off work.
12:51Even so, Ojirou is looking forward to meeting his parents.
12:55Unable to tell the truth, Kyutaro consults Shota,
13:00I asked Doronpa and Yuko to disguise themselves as my parents,
13:03He suggests going to an amusement park with Ojirou.
13:07So, Kyutaro immediately
13:12Meet Doronpa and Yuko,
13:14Instead of buying me a hamburger,
13:16Tomorrow, I'll disguise myself as my parents for just one day,
13:18I ask him to keep Oojiro company.
13:23And on the day,
13:24Doronpa and Yuko
13:26Even Ojirou didn't notice it at all.
13:29While they perfectly resemble their parents,
13:30Doronpa disguised as his father,
13:33Yuko, disguised as her mother, is with them.
13:36Kyutaro couldn't help but say,
13:38It just burned my heart.
13:41Therefore,
13:42Q-taro,
13:43He pushes Oojiro onto Doronpa, who has disguised himself as his father,
13:47I am,
13:48While she was being pampered by Yuko who was disguised as her mother,
13:51Pico, who knows everything,
13:52I'm shocked by Kyutaro's selfishness.
13:55nevertheless,
13:58Somehow, I managed to get through it without Ojirou finding out.
14:01Even after lunch,
14:02continuation,
14:04Doronpa and Oojiro disguised as his father,
14:06Let me ride with you in the same vehicle,
14:08Q-taro is
14:09Together with Yuko, who had disguised herself as her mother,
14:11We enjoyed riding the rides as if we were on a date.
14:16For this situation,
14:18After Doronpa started to get annoyed,
14:21Finally it exploded,
14:22When I get into an argument with Kyutaro,
14:24Doronpa has become ridiculous.
14:26Stop pretending to be your father,
14:28He revealed his true identity in front of Ojirou,
14:31I was going to walk away from that place.
14:35after a while,
14:36Oojiro understood the situation and said,
14:38Although I was disappointed that my parents didn't come,
14:41He expresses his gratitude to Yuko for disguising herself as his mother for him.
14:47Then,
14:48When Kyutaro heard this story,
14:50He asks Yuko and Pico to disguise themselves as their mother,
14:53Yuko's mother is Kyutaro,
14:56and,
14:57Pico's mother
14:58I suggest having fun with Ojirou,
15:01Even more childish than Ojirou,
15:03Yuko and Pico,
15:05In a scene that will leave you speechless,
15:06The program ends.
