| Wallpaper Description: |
While continuing to appear in Gema Gema, an animated Dejiko and her sidekick Gema starred in a television advertisement for Gamers, set to the store's theme song, Welcome! by Hiroko Kato. Dejiko soon starred in her own animated series.
Original series
The Di Gi Charat anime premiered on television program Wonderful in November 1999. Set in a Gamers store in Akihabara, the original series was sixteen episodes long, with each episode running for three minutes. Light-hearted and relatively cheaply animated, the series follows the story of Di Gi Charat (Dejiko), her new sidekick Petit Charat (Puchiko) and Gema, who arrive in Akihabara, Tokyo. Dejiko dreams of becoming an idol, only to realise that they have no money and nowhere to stay. The manager of a Gamers store takes pity on them, and the series follows their exploits as they work in the shop. The series introduces Dejiko's rival, Rabi-en-Rose, and minor characters Abarenbou, Takeshi, Yoshimi, Takurou and Takurou. All other citizens of Akihabara, including the manager, are drawn as anthropomorphic thumbs, the reason being that Akihabara is one of the largest shopping areas of Earth for video games, among other things, and thumbs are most commonly used by people to press buttons while playing video games. The creative team was given free reign over the content of Di Gi Charat,[2] and it is outrageous at times.
Specials and OVAs
Despite the series' low budget and its status as an advertisement for a games store, sequels for Di Gi Charat, several feature-length Di Gi Charat special episodes and OVAs, followed. Each special was around twenty minutes long. The specials introduce the Black Gema Gema Gang (Black Gema Gema Dan) and Dejiko's rival Pyocolla Analogue III (Piyoko).
Di Gi Charat Summer Special
The Di Gi Charat Summer Special was a four episode series that aired over two days, 22 August 2000 - 23 August 2000.[3] This was the first series that Piyoko appeared in and the plot involves her attempting to hold Dejiko hostage for ransom.
Di Gi Charat Christmas Special (2000)
The Christmas Special aired in December 2000 and featured Piyoko again attempting to capture Dejiko by inviting all the characters on a cruise.
Di Gi Charat Ohanami Special
The Ohamami Special was four independent episodes with no continuation that aired in Spring in Japan.
Di Gi Charat Natsuyasumi Special
The Di Gi Charat Natsuyasumi Special was another four episode series set in America that aired almost a year after the original series from 2 August 2001 to 3 August 2002.[4] The young American otaku, Rodoyan, is introduced in this series.
Piyoko Ni Omakase-Pyo (OVA) Piyoko Ni Omakase-Pyo translated to Leave it to Piyoko was an eight episode OVA that was released in 2003.
Movie
In 2001, the Di Gi Charat movie Gekijouban Di Gi Charat: Hoshi no Tabi (デ・ジ・キャラット] 星の旅) was shown in Japan. The twenty minute animation follows the adventures of Dejiko, Piyoko and Gema as they use the spaceship from the first episode to travel back to Dejiko's home, Planet Di Gi Charat.
Di Gi Charat Nyo!
Main article: Di Gi Charat Nyo!
An alternate story to the original series, Nyo! (デ・ジ・キャラットにょ) aired from April 6, 2003 until March 28, 2004. There were two stories for each of the fifty-two twenty minute episodes. It is a series that retells Di Gi Charat as a proper children's anime instead of its original promotional randomness. Nyo! included the concept of the riddle cellphone which was used several times throughout the series.
Main characters
* Di Gi Charat (Dejiko for short)
Dejiko is the main character of the story. She is also known as Chocola but despite this alternate name implying she likes chocolate, she prefers broccoli. Dejiko has a Type A personality and can be aggressive at times.
Dejiko dresses up as a catgirl and is the princess of Planet Di Gi Charat. She is ten years old when she comes to Earth with hopes of becoming an idol singer. She has green eyes and green hair and her maid-like uniform consists of a white and navy blue dress with big cat bells tied to her hair with navy blue ribbons. On the very top of her head are her cat ears, which are white with pink inside and have a set of large, non-functional yellow cat eyes. She always wears white gloves and boots (with the exception of her sleeping outfit) and she has a white tail.
She has the ability to use her eye-beam weapon called the Me kara BEAM!. Voiced by Asami Sanada, she ends each sentence with nyo.
* Petit Charat (Puchiko for short)
At the beginning of the story it is explained that Puchiko, also known as Capuccino, is Dejiko's five year old sidekick and is a catgirl. Her relationship to Dejiko is not explained in the original series, but Gema states that she is a princess in the Di Gi Charat Movie and it is seen that she lives with Dejiko in the castle in Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat. According to Di Gi Charat Complete 2002, Dejiko saved her by pulling her out of a hole, and so Puchiko followed Dejiko to thank her. Although in Winter Garden, it said that Puchiko is Dejiko's sister and share the same parents.
Puchiko is quiet and has a Type B personality. She has the ability to use an eye-beam similar to Dejiko's but is often too docile to conjure the aggression required to perform such a feat.
Puchiko has brown hair and dark brown eyes. She wears a schoolgirl-type uniform plus cat bells in her hair, though they are much smaller than Dejiko's. She wears gloves, boots and has cat ears but hers are yellow. Her tail is also yellow. Voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro, she ends each sentence with nyu.
* Rabi~en~Rose (real name Hikaru Usada)
Rabi~en~Rose is revealed to the viewer to be Dejiko's rival. Her name may be a play on a number of things. \"Rabi~en~Rose\" may be a play on the common French saying \"La Vie en Rose\" which means \"life in pink\". Considering that Di Gi Charat is largely aimed at Otaku, it may more specifically be a reference to the mobile docking ship La Vie en Rose from Gundam 0083. Japanese does not have a \"V\" sound, often substituting a \"B\" in its place (the full Japanese pronunciation of her name being \"ra bi an rōzu\"). It may also be a reference to rock band L'Arc~en~Ciel(Ready Steady Go, from Fullmetal Alchemist). \"Rabi\" also resembles the English word \"rabbit.\" \"Hikaru Usada\" may be a pun on pop singer Hikaru Utada (best known in the West for her theme songs for the Kingdom Hearts series) and \"usagi\", the Japanese word for \"rabbit.\"
In the original anime, she is seen as a normal girl who uses dice to transform into her bunnygirl outfit: a pink, white and red dress with large white rabbit ears and a large round cotton tail. Her parents left her to live on her own in an attempt to help her become an idol. Voiced by Kyoko Hikami, she does not end her sentences with a rabbit sound (typically pyo in anime) and is the only character with kemonomimi animal traits in the Di Gi Charat franchise not to do so.
* Gema
Gema is explained to be the guardian of Dejiko and Puchiko. Essentially it is a floating yellow balloon that is always upside-down with very small eyes and mouth. Creator Koge Donbo once joked that Gema was the best character because anyone can draw him. He ends his sentences with gema. He can shoot darts out of bamboo sticks; but they have little effect on anyone.
Black Gema-Gema Gang
* Piyoko (full name Pyocola Analogue III) who is eight years old is shown to be the leader of the Black Gema Gema Dan and hails from the planet Analogue. In the anime it is unclear whether she is the princess of Analogue. Piyoko, a panda-girl, is voiced by prolific seiyū Megumi Hayashibara. Her costume is similar to that of a nurse's uniform. She ends her sentences with pyo.
* Rik Heisenberg General. He plays the role of the veterinarian of the doctor trio. He takes pride in his profession and loves animals. The brains of the group and the oldest.
* Ky Schweitzer Lieutenant General. He is a dentist and always worries after Piyoko. Ky makes sure that Piyoko practices proper dental hygiene. The second-oldest of the group.
* Coo Erhard Major. The physician of the group. He is Piyoko's childhood friend and is closest to her. Sometimes if food flies through the air he will jump up and catch it in his mouth in a doglike manner.
* Nazo Gema, Gema's counterpart in the Black Gema Gema Dan. It has large spooky eyes and red lips.
Minor characters
* Takeshi - One of the two self-confessed \"fans of Dejiko\".
* Yoshimi - Takeshi's friend and the other half of the \"fans of Dejiko\".
o Bukimi - In the original series, Dejiko misreads the kanji for Takeshi and Yoshimi's names as \"Bukimi\" (meaning 'weird'/'unpleasant smell') and refers to the pair collectively as \"Bukimi\" for the remainder of the series.
* Takurou Minagawa (Minataku for short) - A boy who comes into the store to buy trading cards and falls in love with Rabi-en-Rose. Enjoys melonpan. Not related to Kimura, though they share the same family name.
* Takurou Kimura (Murataku for short) - A rich and long-haired man infatuated with Puchiko's cuteness. Not related to Minagawa.
* Abarenbou - A rowdy creature seemingly made of water. His appearances in the series are always incredibly random and crazy.
* Rodoyan (Rod Young)- An excitable American fan of Di Gi Charat.
* The Manager - A thoughtful finger-person who runs Gamers and sends Dejiko on errands.
* Hokke Mirin - A cat who is Puchiko's sidekick. It can walk sideways and has five kittens; Sa, Shi, Su, Se, and So.
* Majin Gappa - A small green creature likened to a kappa, is Rabi-en-Rose's sidekick.
* Henna Ikimono (変な生き物 lit. \"Strange Creature\") - A mysterious, tiny, yellow bear. Its face always appears to be angry, crying, depressed and laughing all at the same time. It always remains in its box and is always seen as being completely still. On one side of the box, 'Take whatever you want' is written in Japanese. |
