Keiichi HARA 原恵一
Ein Sommer mit Coo
Nippon Kids ¹
On a trip, Koichi finds a stone that is really something. A Japanese mythical creature has been hidden under it for over 200 years: a young Kappa! When the Kappa awakens, he gets along with Koichi right away, and the boy can even convince his parents to take the new friend in. Soon, Coo is practically part of the family. But Tokyo is not the right place for a nature-loving creature like him – the big city really gets him in the mood. When the public becomes aware of the small, green being from the past, the life of the family gets out of hand!
