Kaneta and Yumika

Kaneta and Yumika (Kaneta to Yumika) is a Japanese anime series based on the 1956-1982 Manga series written and illustrated by Waku Yaniko and published by Shueisha for the Yaniko Waku World Magazine jointly published by Shogakukan and Shueisha.

Plot
Before Noroki and Tanako, two homeschooled children from Brazil, both accidently wandered into Poroca, Kaneta Shakika and Yumika Dekiki, an unitelligent married couple that migrated from India, never really had a child but when they met Noroki and Tanako in an Orphanage after an owner of the Orphanage took them both in (assuming they were both Gorillas), they became so happy that Kaneta requested that they should adopt them and take care of them, which they did... but with adoptive parents with brains a size of peanuts, life is going to be strange for Noroki and Tanako.

Characters
Kaneta Shakika (Birth name: Dilip) is a lion who is the adoptive father of Noroki and Tanako and the husband of Yumika. He is incomplete but, like his wife, is well-meaning and all of the bad things he and Yumika does is due to their stupidity. Despite being married to Yumika, who is a Buddhist, Kaneta still remaims an Agnostic.

Yumika Dekiki (Birth name: Saira) is an elephant who is the adoptive mother of Noroki and Tanako and the wife of Kaneta. Like Kaneta, she is incomplete but also well-meaning although she is more stupider than Kaneta. She and Kaneta sleep in different beds because she doesn't want him to eat her.

Noroki Oliveira is a human boy who is the adoptive son of Kaneta and Yumika and the 12 minutes older brother of Tanako. He is supportive and nice to Kaneta and Yumika but doesn't like Yanoko due to him always messing with them, even if they do nothing wrong to him. His (and Tanako's) real parents Chaves and Mônica were killed by the Yakuza gang.

Tanako Oliveira is a human girl who is the 12 minutes younger sister of Noroki. She is one of the smartest people of the Shakita-Dekiki family although she has her moments of stupidity. She does not like the rain.

Yanoko Tsuda is a monkey who is the grandson of Masako Tsuda. He is always mean to Kaneta and Yumika, who are his neighbours, for their stupidity (he also doesn't like Noroki and Tanako for being humans) and always try to find a way to get rid of them, which always fails on him. His parents died when he was a child.

Masako Tsuda is a monkey who is the grandmother of Yanoko. Unlike Yanoko, she is more nicer to Kaneta, Yumika, Noroki and Tanako and always punishes Yanoko whenever he is rude to them. She has a crush on Takashi and stalks him once a week.

Hikari Fuyu is a rabbit who is the owner of the ramen restaurant called Makotioko. She is smart and supportive to Kaneta and Yumika (although she can get annoyed by their stupidity) and thinks about other instead of herself. She knows that Koroko and Yanoko aren't always right in the head but she is too nice to avoid them.

Takashi Takito is a wolf who is the neighbour of Kaneta and Yumika. He is a perfectist who tries to keep things perfect although Kaneta and Yumika would both destroy them by mistake. He may secretly have a crush on Yumika but does not want Kaneta to know about this.

Takajiko Mitoga is a flying squirrel who is the mayor of Poroca. He is really dumb and mearly a manchild but still tries to be the best mayor Poroca has ever known. His birthday is on Saint Patrick's Day.

Fujiruko Mitoga is a flying squirrel who is the daughter of Takajiko. She is smarter than Takajiko and would often take over as mayor whenever he is absent. Her mother died when she gave birth to her.

Gagaga Dadada is an ant who works as a janitor for Takajiko. Gagaga is very weird and silly but also careful and fast when it comes to cleaning. Gagaga is genderless and only says Gagaga. Gagaga only appear in the 1983 and 2014 Series.

Dakoto Mazoku is a dog who is Hikari's adopted nephew. He, just like his aunt, is really supportive of Kaneta and Yumika (and, unlike his aunt, he doesn't get annoyed by their stupidity). He always tries to make sure Hikari doesn't eat too many carrots.

Maria Pagot is a donkey who is Takajiko's assistant mayor. She is smart and very busy but shows to have a really fun side. She is half-Brazilian and half-Italian.
