Poco's Udon World
On Nippon TV
A warmly intimate slice-of-life about a man raising a shapeshifting tanuki child in rural Japan, grounded in Shinto mythology and the gentle rhythms of small-town life.
On a visit to his hometown, Souta Tawara meets a strange child who loves udon and frogs... and has ears and a tail?! Although ordinary at first glance, it turns out that this little tyke is actually a tanuki in a human disguise! So begins the tale of a gentle, warm, and slightly weird family in Kagawa prefecture, better known as "Udon Prefecture," where time passes at a less hurried pace than in the big city...
