A young boy who enjoys causing mischief, especially with his Papa. On the inside, though, he is a kind boy and works a part-time job as a shoeshine in order to buy his mother a birthday present. He is known for not wearing pants underneath his kimono. At the beginning of the series he attends Boumou Eggplant Elementary School, but by the fourth anime it has been renamed Bakada Elementary School.  (source: Wikipedia)  

Bakabon

Bakabon's mother and a graduate of Kuroyuri Women's University (a parody of Shirayuri Women's University). Despite how much trouble and mischief Papa and Bakabon cause, she is a good wife and mother.   

Bakabon's Mama

Bakabon's troublemaker father who eventually steals the show and becomes the central character. His catchphrase is saying Kore de ii noda (ã�“ã‚Œã�§ã�„ã�„ã�®ã� It'll be allright?) to someone when trying to get them to go along with one of his stupid plans. A typical episode plot involves Papa either being too stupid to perform a simple task or coming up with some crazy idea to accomplish a simple task, usually asking for his son Bakabon's advice and causing tons of trouble in either case. He was once very smart but became an idiot after an accident. He is known for always wearing his trademark hachimaki. His favorite food is octopus. Papa has become an anime icon in Japan and was even ranked Number 9 in a 2002 TV Asahi Top 100 Anime Characters list.  (source: wikipedia)  

Bakabon's Papa

Bakabon's younger brother. He is a child prodigy, understanding words almost immediately after his birth and being capable of explaining the Pythagorean theorem and Kepler's laws of planetary motion. His name means "beginning".  (Source: Wikipedia)  

Hajime-chan

The Bakabon family's odd neighbor, named so for his tendency to say Rerere (rather than are (ã�‚ã‚Œ)) when confused about the countless shenanigans in the series. He is almost always seen sweeping the street outside of his yard. He is bald, has a moustache but no nose, ears that extend slightly off of his head, and wears a yukata and geta sandals.  (source: wikipedia)  

Rerere no Oji-san

The local beat cop, referred to as Honkan-san (æœ¬å®˜ã�•ã‚“, lit. "Mr. Policeman") in the anime. He is gluttonous, lecherous, and often repeatedly fires his pistol at random. He is also always wishing for money or a promotion. His notable features include his huge eyes usually drawn as connected into one eyeball, his overbite buck teeth (from the jawbone), and his one nostril in the middle of his nose. His official name from Akatsuka is Mentama Tsunagari Omawari-san (ç›®ãƒ³çŽ‰ã�¤ã�ªã�Œã‚Šã�®ã�Šã�¾ã‚�ã‚Šã�•ã‚“ Officer with the Connected Eyes).  (source: wikipedia)
