Ojarumaru, the only son of a fairy nobleman living in the fairy world during the Heian period a thousand years ago, was bored with his boring daily life and elegant studies. One day, by chance, Ojarumaru gets his hands on "King Enma's Shaku" and after a game of chase with King Enma, falls into the "hole in the moon" in the Enma world. He then arrives in modern-day Gekkou Town. There, he meets elementary school student Kazuma and ends up staying at Kazuma's house. Life in Gekkou Town is so fresh and fun for Ojarumaru that he doesn't want to go home. With the addition of the three little demons who followed Ojarumaru, Gekkou Town is always lively and hilarious.

character

Ojarumaru is a 5-year-old fairy aristocrat boy who came from the fairy world of the Heian period 1,000 years ago. He doesn't like water and hates baths, but he is good at elegant things like waka poetry and kemari. He doesn't have much physical strength, and has a laid-back, relaxed, and slightly selfish personality. He stays at the home of Kazuma, whom he met in Gekkou Town, and is so impressed by the deliciousness of the pudding made by Kazuma's mother that he doesn't seem to have any intention of going home for a while.

Kazuma is an 8-year-old boy in the second grade of elementary school. He is an excellent athlete and loves soccer. He has an honest and kind personality, and although he is at the mercy of Ojarumaru's selfishness, he thinks of him as his real brother. He loves simple pebbles and doesn't like dogs.

Denbo is Ojarumaru's caretaker and the 30th born insect friend of the Densho Botaru Clan. He travels between Gekkou Town and the Heian period, and also serves as a messenger to deliver messages from his father and mother. He falls in love easily, but has fallen in love more than 300 times. He has a bad drinking habit and complains a lot when he's drunk, but he's good at impersonations and loves rice balls.
