Kappei is a dramatically short guy but he is a master in every sport. He lives as a guest in sweet Akane's house, and he's in love with her, but there's a strange rival, her dog Salomone (Italian name) who plans evil traps to encumber Kappei. But the dog has also another function: he explains all sport rules when a new sport is depicted. Kappei is fond of white female underwear, always trying to lift girl's skirts up.

Where it came from
Dash Kappei was produced by Tatsunoko Production and aired in Japan starting in 1981. The series centers on Kappei Sakamaki, a high school student of short stature who possesses incredible athletic prowess, particularly in basketball. It emerged during a period when Tatsunoko was exploring comedic, gag-driven sports anime that subverted traditional tropes of the genre by focusing on an unconventional protagonist who relies on skill and sheer audacity to overcome his physical limitations.
The character design and overall aesthetic were heavily influenced by the manga series written and illustrated by Noboru Rokuda. The anime was designed to capture the slapstick humor and energetic visual pacing found in the original source material. Upon its release, it was well-received by younger audiences for its lighthearted tone and has since maintained a cult status as a representative example of 1980s Japanese television animation that prioritized character-driven humor over strictly realistic sports portrayal.
