Biino

Biino is a Japanese live-action/puppet series that serves as the only live-action series created by Waku Yaniko and one off his few works to not be based on one of his mangas.

Plot
Freinds with benefits Akira and Sakura (played both by Waku Yaniko and Masako Marinoko) have both bought a house to move in as their new home but while they were about to settle in, a spaceship-which had Pakuko, her cousin Makoto and her brother Bokorro-crashed into their backyard. Akira and Sakura found the damaged spaceship and took the three aliens back to their home. When Pakuko woke up along with Makoto and Bokorro, she revealed that she is Princess Pakuko Makarara Miminori Zamagama Takarako Fujikimi and she, along with Makoto and Bokorro, ran away from Planet Nisan to avoid getting engaged to Prince Ji of Planet Harako. To keep their identity secret, Pakuko, Makoto and Bokorro took the forms of earthly creatures to avoid suspision (Pakuko took the identity of a chubby girl she saw passing by, Makoto took the form of a mouse and Bokorro took the form of a canary) and live human lives with Akira and Sakura.

Trivia

 * According to Masako Nozawa, one of the stars of the series, the reason Waku used puppets modeled into pre-teens was due to his reluctance to use child actors because he feels that their parents wouldn't want them to appear on TV as well as the fact that, when they hit puberty, they will have to keep finding new child actors.
