Mr. Ryotu!!

I went to Kameari, Katsushika ward, Tokyo after school yesterday with my friends.

He, Kankichi Ryoutu, is a character of one of the most famous animated cartoon in Japan. The cartoon called," Kochira Katushika-ku Kameari Kouennmae Hasyutsujo". In English," The Police Box in front of Park in Kameari Katushika Ward". He acts like a mess person and does whatever he wants to do in the cartoon.

This Police Box is the one which became the model of the cartoon. In the cartoon, police box is located in front of park, but in fact, the police box is north of the Kameari station.


At the first, this cartoon was a comic book. The comic book was published by Osamu Akiyama in 1976. The comic serial has gone on since his comic initially appeared serially in the weekly comic book called Jump. There are many cartoon and movie of this comic book. The comic book appears in the Guinness Book of Record for long serialization.
I was so surprised!!!!
