Poco's Udon World

Programme notes

Souta Tawara, 30 years old. On a visit to his hometown, he meets a strange child who loves udon and frogs... and has ears and a tail?! Souta is a web designer living in Tokyo. Back in his hometown after his father's death, he finds a child sleeping inside an iron pot in the family udon restaurant. Although ordinary at first glance, it turns out that this little tyke is actually a tanuki in a human disguise!
