The story begins in the year of 20XX. Oshaka School in Kamakuland is a prestige school of the world where only those who are pure and clearheaded descendants of Priest Sanzo's clan may be admitted. As for the familiar villain trio, they are in firm belief that they are genuine descendants of Priest Sanzo's clan although actually they are of uncertain lineage. They study hard to enter the school in spite of their repeated failure. One day three intelligent children are called in by the principal and asked by Shakyamuni dwelling in his body to find missing puzzle copperplates scattered all over the world and complete the puzzle board to heighten honor of Oshaka School. The conversation, however, is overheard by the villain trio and they decide to forestall those selected youngsters. Then they happen to meet with a brilliant boy named koochan who appears handy and so they take him with them and attempt to take away puzzle copperplates from a goblin. At the same time they try to win the goblin over to their side and attack our heroes together. Being aware of the evil scheme, Koochan transforms himself into Itadakiman and fights bravely to drive the wicked trio away.

Where it came from
Itadakiman was produced by Tatsunoko Production in 1983 as the seventh and final installment in the original Time Bokan series. Created to conclude the long-running franchise, the series attempted to revitalize the formula by incorporating more adventurous, treasure-hunting themes while maintaining the signature slapstick humor and recurring villain trio that defined the studio's output throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The character designs were overseen by the legendary animation director Yoshitaka Amano, who imbued the series with a distinct aesthetic flair that departed slightly from the grittier mechanical designs of the earlier entries. Despite the creative pedigree involved, the series struggled to retain its audience amid a shifting television landscape and was ultimately cut short, marking the end of an era for the Time Bokan brand before its later revival decades later.
