He especially targets Maruko and her doting grandfather for his asides, criticizing them for foolish behavior and thoughts. He frequently expresses his opinions about the characters' actions and goes on diversions about stuff. Lemony Narrator: Keaton Yamada for the win.This name is used pretty much to the exclusion of her actual given name. In-Series Nickname: Momoko Sakura is called Maruko, meaning "round child".
Tamae, when something bad happens Maru-chan, becomes Tammy, girl of the alpines a la Heidi, yelling her emotions out.Grandpa Tomozo, when something good or bad happens to him, "writes" poems of the mind about said events, either as haikus or tankas.The Illegible: Hanawa (the rich boy) and Yamada (the ADHD boy) in Maruko's class both have pretty bad handwriting.For example, when the grandson of one of her grandpa's friends ruins the dinner by fliping the table (and being an ungrateful Jerkass the whole time), Maruko calls him out on it, even while he tries to attack her. She's lazy and a bit insensitive, but she cares a lot about the people she likes. She's the female class representative who doesn't like Maruko because Hanawa likes hanging out with her more, but aside from that, she and Maruko get along okay. Fat Bitch: Borderline example with Migiwa.Cool Big Sis: Sakiko, Maruko's sister, when she chooses to be nice to Maruko.They both share the "kekekeke" laugh, though. While she shows it by stalking Maruko's adventures from the figurative bushes, her grandfather is, by contrast, cheery. Maruko's friend Noguchi and her grandfather are ones as well. The Sakura's aren't the only ones with a Cloud Cuckoolander streak.Truth in Television from her and others' admission, as when Eiichiro Oda first met her, he knew she created "Chibi Maruko-chan" from her personality alone. Her Cloud Cuckoo tendencies also show up when she gets older when Hiraoka, a former classmate turned writer for Fuji TV, reconnects with her and the narrator points how she hasn't changed.There's even one episode about how Maruko can be absent-minded and how she doesn't know what she thinks about when she goes into a daze. Maruko has this to a lesser extent than her grandfather, with her strong tendency to daydream or even go into a daze.
When Maruko's sister says she doesn't use her head in class, Tomozou says that when he puts on a "hachimaki" (Japanese bandana), he uses his head. He can sometimes do weird things that nobody understands, like imitate Maruko or write "Work hard Japan!" on the flag Maruko has for the white team for her school's sports day. There's even an episode where he quits his day job to go pro!
In some episodes, he's invited to take pictures, but most of the time, it's a nuisance. Camera Fiend: Tama-chan's dad, who carries a camera around him everywhere, much to her annoyance.
