Atarō

Ataro (ア太郎), created by Fujio Akatsuka, is the protagonist of Extraordinary Ataro as well as a part of Akatsuka's Star System. Ataro is a short young boy with a wide, sloping face and a pointed, jagged impression to his bowl-cut hair. He has small, circular eyes, a pointed nose, and visible freckles. He is often dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and dark pair of pants (often colored blue or green), and wears both a hachimaki and haramaki as well as a pair of sandals. He can also at times be seen to wear his "Yao Batsu" apron around his waist. Ataro has an old-fashioned, Edokko-like temperament that makes him popular with older women in the neighborhood (such as Kumagoro's wife), leading to him being a motivated, polite and friendly young man. However, he can also bear a playful and mischievous side alongside his merchant nature, and is not above teasing the cat Nyarome or even his own friend Dekoppachi. Though he isn't great at school subjects, his math skills when it comes to vegetables and the grocery bill are decent enough.
