Calimero (1992)

Comedy spin-off to the Araiguma Rascal (Raccoon Rascal) anime. The story is set around five employees working hard in the lesser Tama branch of a secret society aiming for world domination called the Calcal Group: an aspirational new recruit, a polite but self-conscious superior, a modern guy with a cold attitude to everything, a hotheaded but kind senior employee and a handsome older man leading the pack.

The series follows the everyday adventures of Little Lulu, Tubby, and the rest of their friends. The most prominent themes derived from the comics include the boys vs. girls rivalry, Tubby's clubhouse, and mishaps with the troublemaking Westside Gang.

His discovery becomes the center of attention in his class at school. Soon after, a similar creature appears, and is named Guchuko by one of Sunao's classmates. However, Guchuko doesn't seem to be as good-natured as Potemayo.
