comment |
Karakurizoushi Ayatsuri Sakon (""Doll Puppeteer Sakon") is a shonen manga written by Masaru Miyazaki and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1995 to 1996. It received a 26-episode anime adaptation that aired from 1999 to 2000.Sakon is the grandson of the famous Bunraku master, Tachibana Zaemon. He is incredibly shy and lacks confidence in himself. However, when he is with his puppet, Ukon, he is able to focus himself and his crime-solving abilities. As a contrast to traditional Bunraku puppeteering, Sakon is an expert ventriloquist.Ukon is a beautiful red-haired Bunraku puppet created in 1870, supposedly by the Master puppet-builder Unosuke Koizumi III. But Ukon doesn't act as a good Bunraku puppet should. When he is with Sakon, he is loud-mouthed, obnoxious, flirtatious, coarse, and very egocentric. Together, Sakon and Ukon travel around Japan, solving mysteries, murders, and horrific crimes. In the meantime, Sakon's aunt Kaoruko, a young and pretty police detective, helps him out and keeps an eye on him. |

Hair-Contrast Duo: Sakon, the black-haired puppetteer, and Ukon, the red-haired puppet he brought into life are polar opposites of one another. The former is a quiet Shrinking Violet, the latter is loud, egocentric and flirtatious. |

Even the Guys Want Him: Sakon. He melts the girls around him and he seems to be a little bit aware of this fact but he is too shy to do something about. His friend Fujita says that "Although I'm a guy, I think he is hot stuff". |

| | Karakurizoushi Ayatsuri Sakon (Manga) / int_9d647997 |
comment |
Double Consciousness: Ukon is just a puppet but he have very strong opinions. Sakon, who gives him life, is the opposite type, being sweet, gentle and shy. It's like Sakon uses Ukon to voices the opinions that he is uncapable to. This is specially evident on episode 24, when Ukon respond "he can't even says what he wants without me around" to a person who questions Ukon's presence in an important meeting. |

Reunion Revenge: The series had one of these involving a school's puppetry club. Subverted in that it's actually the victim's older brother who's the murderer, though it's set up to make the bullies think it's the victim's ghost that's doing it. |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The main character is a puppeteer who walks around talking to his puppet all hours of the day, and makes it talk back, even arguing with it at times. No character treats him as mentally unbalanced or untrustworthy in any way, to the point where he can question people while trying to solve mysteries, and the people he questions don't say a word about the puppet. |
