Kotaro Makaritoru! ("Kotaro Forces His Way Through!") is a Shounen manga series by Tatsuya Hiruta, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine from 1982 to 2004; its original run was from 1982 to 1995, followed by two sequels, Shin Kotaro Makiritoru! and Kotaro Makiritoru! L.The story focuses on Kotaro Shindo, a karate prodigy in high school who comes from a long line of Ninja. Unfortunately, despite his talent, he has no common sense or inhibitions, frequently getting in trouble for clashing with school officials and trying to steal girls' panties. The only person who can keep him under control is his childhood friend and love interest Mayumi Watase. The series follows Kotaro's antics as he butts heads with Mayumi and his rival, the bald samurai wannabe Teruhiko Tenkouji, and also faces increasingly stronger opponents. | |

Neat Freak: Souji Mitarai. Case in point: When Tenkoji visits him once after Mitarai is hospitalized, Tenkoji finds him wiping window glass — from the outside (think window washers but without protective harness in his case). Mitarai claims that knowing his windows are filthy prevents him from sleeping. | |

Parents as People | |
| Kotaro Makaritoru! (Manga) / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: Mayumi's father is not as by-the-book as he could be, despite being in the police force — for starters, he has no qualms with letting Kotaro consume alcohol despite Kotaro being a minor. Kotaro's mother is a shameless pervert, much to Tenkoji's annoyance, especially since she has stolen loincloth from him. | |

| Kotaro Makaritoru! (Manga) / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: Kotaro's mother Kurumi is essentially Kotaro with boobs, down to the perversion. From the Judo arc, we have Kumi and Fune Mifune. They can take each other's place with the aid of hair-dye. Moreover, Kumi's father is essentially Kumi with mustache. Kumi's mother, by comparison, has a rather Brawn Hilda look and at least one-half again as tall as her husband (Kumi, Fune, and Kumi's father are all about the same height). | |

Bare-Handed Blade Block | |
| Kotaro Makaritoru! (Manga) / int_2a55a77a | comment |
Bare-Handed Blade Block: Kotaro does this when stopping Tenkoji's attack regularly, as Tenkoji carries a sharp (though sheathed when he's not attacking) katana almost everywhere he goes. He doesn't necessarily use his hands, either — at least once he does it with his toes. | |

Out of Focus: Tenkoji is absent during the band arc. He appears in the next story arc, briefly talking with Mitarai before demanding a match with Kotaro, only to team up with him again after finding out that Kotaro had broken a rib a moment ago and is therefore not in a fit state to fight him. | |

Cerebus Retcon | |
| Kotaro Makaritoru! (Manga) / int_8b67aba7 | comment |
Cerebus Retcon: Mayumi's Supreme Chef status, which has been cemented early on, has a less-pleasant origin that was revealed later in the series: When she and Kotaro were playing house at the age of 4, she handed Kotaro a plate of mud-balls. Kotaro ate them all and nearly died from it, prompting a tearful Mayumi to vow to improve her cooking so that the same tragedy wouldn't repeat itself. And she made good of her promise by starting to learn how to cook while still at the age of 4. | |

Kotaro has put his long hair to good use. He uses it to strangle his opponent or whip his opponent in the eye (each for at least once) when fighting, and a non-violent example of this involves him stuffing tennis balls into his hair, which he uses to strike a gong, at the beginning of an on-stage concert performance. | |

Rule of Three | |
| Kotaro Makaritoru! (Manga) / int_a6cda066 | comment |
One particularly jarring example involves being on the giving and receiving end of this trope withal. During the band arc, Otsukoshi pops into the bathroom when Kotaro is bathing (for the grand total of 3 times). Kotaro, not happy with the idea of a guy taking a bath with him, reacts by "whipping" him back. During the third time Otsukoshi and Kotaro bath together, Otsukoshi decides to give Kotaro "a taste of his own medicine" while Kotaro, in return, decides to "show him how it's done". Their "weapons" collide... and the next panel goes black. The panel right after that shows Kotaro stating, feebly, that he should think up a better move in the future, whereas Otsukoshi has his face in the bath water, apparently in too much pain to speak. | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: On the surface Kotaro might look like a moronic pervert, but once stoked to his full potential he can unleash an ungodly amount of whoop-ass on pretty much anyone. From the Judo arc, we have Sanshiro Saigo. He has a good amount of self-esteem issue, but once in the groove he can throw anyone down to the mat. | |

From the Judo arc, we have Kumi and Fune Mifune. They can take each other's place with the aid of hair-dye. Moreover, Kumi's father is essentially Kumi with mustache. Kumi's mother, by comparison, has a rather Brawn Hilda look and at least one-half again as tall as her husband (Kumi, Fune, and Kumi's father are all about the same height). | |

Seesaw Catapult | |
| Kotaro Makaritoru! (Manga) / int_abfe3213 | comment |
Seesaw Catapult: The entire series starts out with this: Mayumi chases Kotaro due to his hair being much longer than the rules would allow for boys, and the chase sequence culminates in getting them in a school lake, with them jumping from one boat to another, until the two of them end up literally in the same boat. Mayumi tries to catch Kotaro, but Kotaro jumps out of her arms' range before landing back into the boat with a stomp, the force of which sends Mayumi flying upwards, all for the sake of copping a Panty Shot, with Mayumi landing back into the boat with a knee-drop in Kotaro's face, resulting in both of them in water swimming their way back ashore. | |

Nobody Touches the Hair | |
| Kotaro Makaritoru! (Manga) / int_ac0ca62e | comment |
Nobody Touches the Hair: Kotaro is very protective of his long hair, which tends to get him in trouble at school since it's much longer than the rules allow for boys' hairstyles. The story arc at the beginning plays with this; when the president places the bounty on Kotaro's hair, Kotaro, once he finds himself cornered, cuts off his own hair to stop the pursuers. Then it turns out he does it only to fake them out — he was wearing a wig with the hairstyle identical to his own at the time when he "cut it off". | |

Waif-Fu: Shikato Denzen is the prime example, being a Miniature Senior Citizen himself. Kotaro has quite an amount of muscle, but he tends to be dwarfed by opponents he faced. The Judo arc is arguably built around this trope. Kumi and Saigo (both small and wiry) are perfectly capable on throwing down opponents two to three times their weight. Some dynamics of judo is also covered in-depth. | |

Tenkoji has used his bald head as a light source many times, allowing him (and those around him, if any) to see in an otherwise pitch-black environment. It's for this reason that he carries a battery with him at all times. Similar to Tenkoji, Steve Pie has his guitar with him everywhere he goes. His being a musician aside, the guitar is what allows him to communicate with the Japanese-speaking cast members (see Beyond the Impossible above). | |

Dragged by the Collar: Or, in Kotaro's case, his hair. After Kotaro exhausts himself running 49 laps out of 50 (with the last 24 being done in handstand), Mayumi takes him home this way. She only has to do this for one night, however, as Kotaro is fully energized in the very next morning. | |
