In the Heian era, around 1000 years ago, a young boy of noble family named Ojarumaru is bored with his life of privilege. Meanwhile, three demons steal the power-stick of Enma, king of demons, and then lose it. Ojarumaru finds it, and uses it to transport himself to the present time. Here, he is befriended by a young boy named Kazuma, and becomes a member of his family. As time goes on, Ojarumaru makes many new friends, while dodging the comedic efforts of the three demons, Akane, Kisuke, and Aobee, as they try to recover the stick.

Where it came from
Prince Mackaroo, known in Japan as Ojarumaru, was produced by Studio Gallop and first aired on NHK in 1998. The series was created by Rin Inumaru, who drew inspiration from the Heian period, blending historical aesthetics with modern, whimsical storytelling. The show centers on a five-year-old prince from the Heian era who travels through time to present-day Japan, offering a gentle, philosophical look at daily life through a satirical lens.
The character design reflects a deliberate contrast between traditional courtly elegance and the mundanity of contemporary urban environments. Rin Inumaru’s vision was to create a comforting, character-driven narrative that appealed to both children and adults. Upon its release, the series was received with significant critical acclaim for its warmth and clever writing, eventually becoming a staple of Japanese daytime television with an exceptionally long-running broadcast history.
