Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Despite her fame and her career, eccentric 11-year-old child actress Sana Kurata lives an almost normal life with her even-more-eccentric author mother, Misako Kurata, and her manager Rei Sagami. She even attends a public school, where she has many friends. But in school she comes into conflict with sullen, laconic Akito Hayama, de facto leader of the boys in her classroom.Akito holds some secret blackmail on two of the teachers, allowing him to get away with a great deal of misbehavior — something which enrages Sana, especially when it disrupts the class. She vows to defeat Akito, and restore peace to the school. After several failures, she succeeds in beating Akito at his own game, but her victory over him is just the beginning of a surprising evolution of her relationship with the quiet, angry-seeming boy, as she discovers why he is so angry and starts trying to fix it...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Kodomo no Omocha ("Child's Toy", and frequently contracted to "Kodocha") is a fun, entertaining Shōjo series that mixes comedy and drama in equal parts. It was created by Miho Obana and published in Shueisha's Ribon magazine from 1994 to 1998. It got adapted into an anime series in 1996 and run into 102 episodes, directed by Akitaro Daichi, who is better known nowadays for directing series like the 2001 adaptation of Fruits Basket and Now and Then, Here and There.Sana's irrepressible energy and rapid-fire dialogue is second only to Excel of Excel Saga for its speed and outrageousness. (In fact, Excel's original North American voice actress, Jessica Calvello, once expressed an interest in voicing Sana in English.) But unlike Excel, Sana is a force to be reckoned with, despite her non sequiturs and baffling leaps of "logic". Possessed of an immense empathy and a willingness to help even someone she characterizes as her worst enemy, she plows through troubles and problems with a bold determination and a choice of skills from the acting school she attends. It has frequently been described as "Marmalade Boy on crack" due to Sana and Akito's superficial resemblance to Miki and Yuu.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })During 2005, Funimation started to release licensed DVDs of the anime series in North America under its abbreviated title, "Kodocha". The original opening credits from the first season were replaced with the second season ones because of legal pressures exerted by Johnny & Associates, the management behind TOKIO, the band who recorded the opening "7 O'Clock News". Even the cameo of one of the members of the band was bowdlerized in both English and Japanese tracks to keep any mention of the group out of the North American release. Due to licensing contracts and low sales of the series, the second season was never released and as of February 2012, Funimation lost the license of the series.However in 2020, Discotek Media note who funnily enough, also rescued the above mentioned Marmalde Boy announced that they rescued the anime for release on SD Blu-ray in 2021, and this time all 102 episodes will be released and to make things even sweeter, all the music rights have been cleared note This is likely due to a change over in management at Johnny's & Associates as the agency is now managed by Johnny Kitagawa's niece, Julie Keiko Fujishima after Johnny himself passed away in 2019.No relation to Kodomo no Kodomo, Kodomo no Jikan, nor Lotte no Omocha. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Some celebrities make some sort of "cameo" in the anime, such as Takuya Kimuchi, based on SMAP's member, Takuya Kimura. This is also applied in the first episode of the Funimation dub, due to some licensing issues, with the Tokio band's name changed to "Kyoto". | |

Heroic BSoD | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Sana has a couple of moments shown in the entire series that led up to her emotional depressive disorder, the "Mannequin Disease". When she was a child, not so long after Misako told her she was adopted. She returned from school with a bad grade, fearing that her mom wouldn't love her and that she would send her back to the Orphanage of Love where she spent some time in. In middle school, while she is more prone to fall in depression like when she found out Akito was dating Fuuka, it hit bottom when he told her that he was going overseas to get his arm cured, and since she wasn't used to be far away from one of her loved ones... | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Happens all the time, mostly in the romantic relationships: Akito and his father used to have a good relationship when he was three... Then his sister, who resented him for their mother dying giving birth to him, told him why she targeted him and that their father too hated him, ruining their relationship. Justified because Akito was three. Having guessed something was off, Akito's father tried to repair the relationship, and was actually succeeding... Then he made a joke about two spheric gasometers being actually dinosaur eggs (Akito loves dinosaurs) and Akito didn't hear him admitting it was a joke, ruining everything when he found out what they actually were because he thought his father had willingly lied to him. Before the series, Rei and Asako had broken up because he thought she was leaving him to become an actress, and disappeared before she could clear everything out. When in Osaka, Fuuka was very friendly with a boy named Nagaishi, and everyone, including them, expected them to get together soon. Then Fuuka remembered she had her first kiss from Akito in kindergarten and, surprised, shouted about it... And the boys of her school decided she had a boyfriend, with Nagaishi avoiding her every time she tried to explain. The whole debacle of rumors and gossip stating that Sana and Naozumi are a couple while they film a movie. Not only does Akito decide to date Fuuka as sort of a rebound, but Sana gets physically assaulted by rabid Naozumi fans to the extent that they literally break her leg. When Sana finally returns to school after shooting the movie none of her friends ask her about Naozumi, including Akito. They all just assume she'll just talk about her relationship with them, but then they all get insulted when she doesn't. Sana only finds out they believed the rumors when she feels left out when hanging out with two couples (Akito and Fuka, Tsuyoshi and Aya) until they bring up Naozumi on topic. | |

| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_1c6a9289 | comment |
Bishōnen: It’s often mentioned in the series that Naozumi is a pretty and cute boy, and even Akito has fangirls (however, his personality is another whole story). Rei may count as well, especially when Sana first interacted with him, since she thought that he looked "cute" even if he was a homeless young man. | |

Cool Shades: As a way to commit himself to Sana, Rei sports a pair of sunglasses when he is working as her manager. Originally, it was also because Sana didn't want anyone to ever look at his "beautiful eyes". | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Babbit, being the Greek Chorus of the anime, often does this, when he is interacting not only with the viewer, but the characters themselves on screen. The manga has its moments, but they are less prominent than the anime's. | |

Late for School | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_1eefabd2 | comment |
Late for School: The first episode of the anime is an straight example of this, when Sana wakes up late, she does her routine, and for her bad luck, Rei drives SO SLOW (until she freaks him out) before arriving to school. Subverted when she is about to start her first day at middle school, basically doing an opposite (and more calmed) routine... but it was All Just a Dream, and she gets late to school, anyways. | |

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The 2nd ED theme, "DAIJOU-BU", is sung by Babbit's voice actress, Tomoko Hikita (credited midway in the anime as "TOMO"). The song is often mentioned and referred in the anime for the already Fourth Wall breaker Babbit, too. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The anime had 102 episodes, divided into two seasons (51 episodes each), meaning that some story arcs were ridiculously expanded with filler, while also trying to make time between the events they were adapting from the manga. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: Obana likes to play a lot of this in the series — Sana was abandoned by her birth mother Keiko (who actually gave birth to her at age thirteen, and in the manga Sana's birth may have been product of sexual abuse), and the less said about her birth father the better except in the anime, where he's actually a really nice guy. Her adoptive mother, Misako, is divorced from a parasitic money-leech. Akito's mother Koharu is dead and his father Fuyuki is so absorbed in his work that he never sees his children (though to his credit, he does try be a good dad once he and Natsumi get over themselves). Tsuyoshi's father is estranged from the family, and it's implied that he physically abused Tsuyoshi; might be the case why he reacts so strongly to people insulting his mother. Rei's parents died in an accident not so much long after he broke up with Asako. He thought they were rich... but they also had lots of money debts, resulting him to go homeless for a while. | |

Sadist Teacher | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_2a6a8e89 | comment |
Sadist Teacher: Mr. Sengoku is clearly built on hate towards his students when he gets introduced in the series. Akito becomes his favorite victim (because he reminds him of a guy he knew in high school). And it turns to worse when Akito reveals an embarrassing secret about him to the whole class, something he provoked him to do beforehand. He goes so far as to take Akito to the Teacher’s Room not to talk to him BUT to punch him in the stomach. Then, he got him suspended when he fought back. In the manga, things got very serious once Kazuyuki Komori disappears, since Sengoku does not trust in Akito and believes he is much of an evil abuser and bad student. Once he loses function of his right hand, Sengoku's actions get straight to abuse and humiliation. Sengoku takes advantage of the situation, when in class, he ends up forcing Akito to write his group's lab work on the chalkboard with his left hand. And when he makes some progress, Sengoku forces him to do it again because he "can't understand it". The rest of the class watch this with so much discomfort (however, after Akito finished, he ends up grading it as rightnote Circle marks or "Marujirushi" mean as "correct answers"). No wonder why, when Sana hears about this, she becomes absolutely pissed off to know why he did it. | |

Distant Finale: Mostly prominent in the manga where, some years after the melodramatic climax happens, it offers a view on what Sana and her friends are doing before enrolling in high school, when Akito announces that he also returns to Japan to see her. Deep Clear also offers a more distant closure after these events, while also being a crossover special with Honey Bitter, giving an insight of a Babies Ever After ending for both Sana and Akito. | |

Adult Fear | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_46118dc5 | comment |
Adult Fear: Misako Kurata originally didn't feel any remorse about telling Sana that she was adopted when she was 5 years old, and that they made a promise to look for her biological mother, once they got famous in their own ways. However, after all those years, Misako got scared that the aforementioned woman would suddenly appear to take Sana away from her... or worse, that Sana would choose to be with her biological mother. Rei doesn't take the reveal lightly, either. Especially considering that he became an orphan at his late teens, and that he loves Sana as if she was his daughter and/or little sister. Sana getting the "Mannequin Disease" is terrifying considering that there are no physical but emotional symptoms related to it. And since there is no known cure, no one has to wonder why Misako went to the "The Mansion of Water" filming location when Sana suddenly fell into depression after Hayama told her he was dating Fuuka. | |

Big Fancy House | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_4814d132 | comment |
Big Fancy House: The Kurata’s household is expected to be big partially because of Misako's profits as an author. However, this gets expanded in the anime, where it's revealed that her parents are rich (they are owners of a hot springs resort) which also justifies the size of their house, too. | |

Happily Adopted | |

Happily Adopted: Sana was found by Misako when she was only a baby, and she officially adopted her some time after that. Even though they both promised to do a Gene Hunting for Sana's biological mother (and they successfully found her), Sana just couldn't go to her arms, because Misako was her one and only mama. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The anime took a different direction from the manga at the very start of it. Some of the characters differ in personality, others get much more developed and some of the events got changed. Considering that the manga was a monthly series and that it was still being published in Japan at the time the anime was airing, the anime staff had little to work with while it was reaching its climax. | |

Opposites Attract: Akito and Sana are complete opposites of each other in regard of their personalities. Akito is more violent, serious, and perhaps he is more of a realist kid than the other children that appear in the series. Sana, however, is more energetic and an idealist. Both grew up in different situations, and yet, they both learned secret aspects from themselves... | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Misako actually hands out a few of these. She raised Sana with an even mix of independence and rules, and often never lets Sana back out of the consequences when she does something wrong. She delivered a subdued and absolutely scathing one to Sana's birth mother Keiko over abandoning Sana when she was a baby, regardless of how young Keiko was at the time, followed by a slap in the face. | |

Sex as Rite-of-Passage: Sana proposes to Akito to have sex as a way in which both could see each other as adults, before he went overseas.

Re-Release Soundtrack: Tokio's contract prohibited their music to be used overseas so Funimation used the second season's opening in place of the first. Furthermore, a member of Tokio cameos in the first episode while the forbidden song plays in the background. The English dub track simply renames the band "Kyoto" and again swaps in the 2nd opening song. On the Japanese track... silence. | |

First Kiss: This is the one that is very important for Sana and Akito's relationship, when they are in the middle of a school trip at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office. Although it wasn't a first for Akito, the kiss is both surprising and terrifying for poor Sana. And it brought hilarious results in the anime, as her reaction causes a good deal of traffic accidents, when they were at the top of one of the building's towers. | |

Merchandise-Driven | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_a19cce82 | comment |
Merchandise-Driven: The anime series counted with Tomy (present-day known as Takara Tomy) as part of the production committee. Every single toy that Sana had (the Burucha and the Nopia, for example) was real. It should be noted that this line of toys didn't exist in the original manga itself. However, finding them in auction sites is very difficult, nowadays. The most valuable of them is probably the Polaroid Camera that was available as a series-related edition. | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: Akito's sister has this reaction when she sees the TV movie Sana and Asako were in that blatantly parallels the situation with Akito's family, and she realizes just how horribly she treated Akito all these years. Akito's dad has a more subdued version of this. Miss Andoh also has this reaction when she remembers that a teacher's job is to help the students understand their work, not enforce arbitrary grading, and realizes her proficiency test is making her look like a heartless monster. | |

Yoko Oh No: Sana is attacked by Naozumi's fangirls due to them acting "very friendly" while filming "The Mansion of Water" (the rumors around the two during the shoot didn't help at all). It was so bad, that they even break her leg! | |

Dogged Nice Guy | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_a2492aff | comment |
Dogged Nice Guy: Tsuyoshi felt he was that to Sana, especially because he didn't know it was just for a misunderstanding he had from her affections. Naozumi to Sana. He thinks he is more capable to be with Sana initially because he shares the same career and they have a similar past; however, Sana only looks at him as a friend or as a brother, rather than just boyfriend material. Fuuka becomes the dogged nice girl to Akito after they start their relationship. She is similar to Sana in some aspects, but she is also different than her. However, once she realizes that there is a deep connection that Akito shares with Sana, she decides to end their relationship for her friends' own sake. | |

Good Parents: There's Misako, and when he finally realizes what his home situation is really like, Akito's dad becomes one as well. In one episode where Akito is framed for shoplifting, his father gives a long speech about how he expects Akito to come forward with the truth on the situation. All Akito says is he didn't do it, and his father adamantly believes him just because he has too much faith in Akito. | |

| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_a8b7f968 | comment |
Love at First Punch: Sana very harshly calls Akito out after she finds out Mitsuya-sensei is blackmailed, and after seeing how he treated Mami. Akito falls in love with her, predictably. Also a subversion, since the first girl who called him out was Sana's friend Mami... who committed the mistake of calling him "demon", not knowing it was his Berserk Button. That ended very badly. | |

Abusive Parents: Volumes two and three heavily suggest that Tsuyoshi's dad is this. It's never brought up again, though, since his parents get divorced, and he moves away with his mom and his sister. Tsuyoshi's anger over people insulting his mother, could possibly be related to Domestic Abuse, as well. | |

Child by Rape | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_bb7ae292 | comment |
Child by Rape: It's hinted to be the case in the manga with Sana. Keiko gave birth to her when she was 13 or 14 years old and her dad was not only a much older man, but Keiko's uncle (although she claimed she loved him, this is sadly something child sexual assault victims convince themselves of to help them deal with the abuse, although it's ambiguous whether this was Obana's original intention). In the anime, it's rather the contrary, since it is implied that, yes, Keiko got pregnant when she was a teenager, but Sana's real father appears long after this event and he is apparently a good man, so it's questionable he could have raped Keiko. | |

Berserk Button: Akito can not stand be called "demon". Especially since it was how Natsumi started calling him after she blamed him for their mother's death. Tsuyoshi is a kind kid who often has an innocent and kind personality, but he is not going to have second thoughts if someone insults his mother in front of him. Or even if someone insults or harms Aya. | |

Show Within a Show: Also called "Kodomo no Omocha", this show is actually based on a real Japanese TV show that sits 30 kids in a simulated schoolroom with a standup comedian as the "teacher"/emcee. There's also the two movies that Sana is shown to star in (a family prime-time drama and a ghost story film), a stage production of what looks like Tosca, and a mind-boggling number of television, print, and billboard ads. | |

Pilot: There was an OVA, produced by J.C. Staff, released in 1995 as part of Ribon's 40th anniversary celebration. It's more closer to the manga's tone, and only adapts the first important arc (Akito's fractured family problems and Rei's Old Flame resolve). It also has different character designs and an entire different voice acting cast, led by Chisa Yokoyama as Sana and Megumi Ogata as Akito. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Akito's cold and violent personality is a result of the lack of communication that his family had at home. With a Missing Mom and a workaholic father, things weren't easy either for him or his sister. Natsumi even often abused Akito and treated him as a "monster" because she resented him and put all the blame of their mother's death on him. | |

Death by Childbirth | |

Akito and his father used to have a good relationship when he was three... Then his sister, who resented him for their mother dying giving birth to him, told him why she targeted him and that their father too hated him, ruining their relationship. Justified because Akito was three. Having guessed something was off, Akito's father tried to repair the relationship, and was actually succeeding... Then he made a joke about two spheric gasometers being actually dinosaur eggs (Akito loves dinosaurs) and Akito didn't hear him admitting it was a joke, ruining everything when he found out what they actually were because he thought his father had willingly lied to him. | |

Art Evolution: The manga series took four years to be published, so it's expected to see this with Miho Obana's art, when the characters start to "grow up" as well. The Ribon's 60th anniversary (2015) extra chapter also gives more warm and detailed art changes within the series, since the manga's ending in 1998 (counting the Deep Clear crossover from 2010, as well, where the main characters get involved into it). | |

Greek Chorus | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_e4d079c1 | comment |
Greek Chorus: In the anime, there's Babbit, who often breaks the fourth wall with the viewer and the characters themselves to comment on their actions. | |

Backstory | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_e7117c09 | comment |
Back Story: There's a glimpse about how Rei ended working in the Kurata's household (from Sana's perspective), and the quick mention about how unlucky he was after his break-up with Asako. Akito's bet to kiss a girl in kindergarten is explained when Fuuka reveals that it was her whom he kissed, after they reencounter each other for the first time in years. There is a special chapter that details the most dear memory of Akito's childhood with his family, which also explains why his cold personality is hard to break at the moment. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Sana has a habit of forgetting unpleasant memories (and the people it involves) when she suffers from Heroic BSODs. | |

Improbable Hairstyle | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_eb1fcaf7 | comment |
Improbable Hairstyle: Misako Kurata purposely wanted to adopt some fun hairstyles because not long after she found out she couldn't conceive, she thought that if she couldn't be a "normal woman" anymore, then she must had to start living as a "strange" one instead, overjoying her life and expressing herself through them. | |

Crossover | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: There's an out-of-continuity crossover chapter drawn by Obana and Mihona Fujii (mangaka most known nowadays for GALS!). Counting as cameo, Erika Sakurai from Fujii's work, Passion Girls, also appeared in the series as well. Deep Clear is a crossover special released for Obana’s 20th anniversary of her career, with her ongoing series, Honey Bitter, where the cast of Kodocha has an important plot role in the story. | |

Boke and Tsukkomi Routine | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_eee69e44 | comment |
Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Sana often falls into the Straight Man role (even with her tsukkomi's weapon, a rubber hammer) with everyone when they do their own nonsenses. Fuuka, being similar in Sana in some aspects (she is also from Osaka, where manzai comedy routines are more common), also falls into the Straight Man role... especially when Sana or Akito are around. | |

Identical Stranger | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Identical Stranger: In the anime's New York arc, Sana and Naozumi run into an American lookalike of Akito named Brad, and his mom, who is an American lookalike of Mrs. Shimura, the Kurata's maid. Although Brad is too similar to Akito in appearance, he is more talkative, direct and meaner than him (even if he acts like this just to protect Cecil Hamilton, since he likes her). | |

Easily Forgiven | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Pointedly averted; Mami never forgives Akito after he tries to drown her for calling him a demon, and when she learns about it Misako explicitly tells him it's his own fault for his abuse of her. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In-universe example, when he believed that Sana and Naozumi were together, Akito dated Fuuka because, for a strange coincidence, she resembled Sana in both looks and character. | |

Romantic False Lead | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_faa71569 | comment |
Romantic False Lead: Both Naozumi and Fuuka are textbook examples to both Sana and Akito, respectively. They even spend a time as their partners (varying to some degrees in both the anime and the manga), but eventually Naozumi and Fuuka give up their feelings for them. | |

| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Tsuyoshi is a kind kid who often has an innocent and kind personality, but he is not going to have second thoughts if someone insults his mother in front of him. Or even if someone insults or harms Aya. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Akito's Missing Mom loved the seasons and everything about them, and named her children after the season they were born in. The "aki" in Akito is "autumn" and the "natsu" in Natsumi is "summer." This theme naming extends to the entire family: Akito's mother's name (Koharu) includes "haru" for "spring," and his father's name (Fuyuki) includes "fuyu" for winter. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Kodomo no Omocha (Manga) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: When Akito gives Sana her First Kiss, a couple classmates on the background tell the audience that Akito gave his first kiss when he was a kindergartener, and when he admits it, they also add they had bet 10 yen each he couldn't do it. Halfway in the series, the girl he kissed as a kindergartener (Fuuka) returns to Tokyo and slap him for that. | |
