Birth of Topanto Rikit

Birth of Topanto Rikit (Boku no Topanto Rikitto) is a Japanese TV Special developed by Shin-Ei Animation.

Plot
Jacaro Fujio, with his wife Susie Fujio, were busy tucking their kids, Korosuke and Eri, to bed but before they left, Korosuke asked him to tell him a story before he and Susie both go to sleep so Jacaro complied and told him the story about his babysitter sent by their Uncle Mokono, Topanto Rikit.

In Heaven, Hiroshi Fujimoto was teaching about clay by making designing into what everyone calls a Topanto but since no one was interested, he had to leave school early and go home, taking the clay figure with him. As he went to bed, an angel saw a clay figure and made it come to life in a form of a Topanto (also giving him the name Rikit, the ability to eat and drink and the ability to swim). Hiroshi woke up when Rikit was turned into a real animal and, instead of questioning how he came to life, was really happy to the point where he enrolled him to Topanto Community School where he met his girlfriend, Rumiki, his bullies, Akira and Toshio and his friend, Naoki.

When he returned, Hiroshi introduced him to Mokono Kamiya, a boy who was killed in a car accident, and assigned him to take care of Mokono. Ten years later when Rikit and Mokono were taking a walk around heaven, a butterfly flew around him causing him to try to shoo it away, only for him to collapse on the road and have his ears crushed by a nearby car. Rikit was rushed into the hospital as the staff said that he ears can be replaced but one of the angels gave him a cat ear and a dog ear by mistake while he was blindfolded, causing Rikit to lose Rumiki and be humuliated by the Topantos and Mokanos for the next 8 years.

Rikit was sitting on the Beach when he met Kana, a Mokano created by Shotaro Ishinomori, as she introduced herself and Mikit, a Topanto also created by Hiroshi, as Rikit's sister but Rikit was still sad about his ears and flew away from them. While he was still crying, he noticed two people in a truck until he realized that the truck belonged to Kozo and Isao, two criminals that were never caught by the police. Rikit told the police about there whereabouts and puncture the tires so they couldn't get away when Kozo and Isao were caught by the police and sent to Heaven Jail but Rikit refused to take the credit and flew away.

When Rikit got home, Hiroshi informed him that Mokono's cousin, Jacaro was born so Mokono is sending him to babysit Jacaro after Hiroshi informed him that Jacaro will have a really bad life in the future from marrying Gio's sister instead of Susie to having his company burnt down to being in a huge dept.

When Jacaro finished his story, he discovered that his kids were already asleep. Susie called him to go to bed so Jacaro decided to go to bed but didn't noticed Rikit, Mikit, Naoki and Mokono looking at him, smiling.
