Nintama Rantarō (忍たま乱太郎, "Rantarō the Ninja Boy") is a Japanese anime series produced by Ajia-do Animation Works and Japanese broadcast on NHK since April 10, 1993. It is an adaptation of the manga series Rakudai Ninja Rantarō, written and illustrated by Sōbe Amako. Nintama Rantarō centers on the title character and his friends as they attend a school for budding ninjas. Like the manga on which it is based, there is a considerable amount of anachronisms for comedic purposes; for example, the titular character Rantarō is bespectacled. The anime also references other Japanese media personalities such as Ken Shimura. The series is currently the longest-running anime on NHK. The official English title is Ninjaboy Rantaro.[6]
In July 2011, a live action film version directed by Takashi Miike titled Ninja Kids!!! was released.[7] A sequel was released on July 6, 2013, called Ninja Kids!!! Summer Mission Impossible! (忍たま乱太郎 夏休み宿題大作戦! の段, Nintama Rantarô Natsuyasumi Shukudai Daisakusen! no Dan).
The main character, a bespectacled first-grade boy who is aiming to become an excellent ninja, but he often gets distracted and prefers to goof off with his friends Kirimaru and Shinbee. Despite not having good vision, he has fast legs.
One of Rantaro's best friends and Tsukkomi. He is an orphan who lost his family and home during a war, and now makes a living doing various part-time jobs. When school isn't in session, he lives with Doi. His primary interest is being obsessed with earning money. He goes crazy whenever he hears the clinging sound of a zeni coin and will go out of his way to obtain it.
A rich merchant's son, who quickly became friends with Rantarō at the beginning of the series. He is overweight, a bit slower when it comes to thinking, likes to eat a lot, and often has to be corrected by his friends. Nonetheless, he possesses great power and strength. He often has a runny nose, which can sometimes come in handy. When he has a bad hair day, his hair sticks up like a porcupine's quills and can be used a weapon.
His father runs a horse and carriage delivery service. Danzou is talented with horses because of this. His writing is terribly messy, to the point of illegibility. He has a platonic crush on Seihachi (清八), one of his father's top employees. He shares a room with Torawaka.
His father is in charge of the Satake Rifle Squad. Because of this he has much experience with flintlock rifles, which were rare at the time. He idolizes Shousei, a rifle expert who works for his father. He shares a room with Danzou.
Speaks without thinking, and often says too much. He claims to have problems making a friendly face. He enjoys pranking the first years, especially the main trio.
A member of the Health Committee, he is often seen making midnight snacks, but often drops them, too. He looks serious but actually has a kind heart and never leaves people who needs help.
Kyūsaku Nose (能勢 久作, Nose Kyūsaku)
Voiced by: Atsuko Mine (Series 1), Ai Satou (Series 1 episode 46-Series 8), Jin Domon (Series 8-current)
Nose has large eyebrows and reddish orange hair. He is a serious and sharp student, but sometimes his sharpness can lead to unnecessary details.
Shirobei Tokitomo (時友 四郎兵衛, Tokitomo Shirobei)
Voiced by: Tomo Adachi
A quiet boy who is a little dumb, but has a serious personality and often play the role of the tsukkomi.
A 2nd-year transfer student who appears in Season 28, his father is a samurai at the Kawataredoki Castle. He is the first character to be reused from Amako Soubei's previous work Hamuko Mairu!.
Igasaki keeps snakes, scorpions, and bugs as pets. He always keeps his poisonous pet snake, Junko, with him, though she often runs away, leaving Magohei to search frantically for her.
Tsugiya also has no sense of direction, but wanders absent mindlessly.
Sakubei Tomatsu (富松 作兵衛, Tomatsu Sakubei)
Voiced by: Touko Aoyama
A third year student who always keeps an eye on Tsugiya and Kanzaki. He has a serious personality but also my-paced in his own way. Recently he developed a sense of responsibility as well.
Tounai Urakaze (浦風 藤内, Urakaze Tounai)
Voiced by: Sumomo Momomori
Urakaze always practices for everything obsessively.
The ultimate narcissist, Tairano considers himself 'Ninjutsu Gakuen's Number One Idol'. He is very talented with his throwing ring, which he has lovingly named 'Rinko'.
An expressionless boy who really loves digging holes, it is hard to keep him interested in anything else. He names all the holes that he digs, and he too is called "The Trap Specialist". Most of the Health Committee members have fallen in his traps.
The other self-proclaimed "Number One Idol of Ninjutsu Gakuen", Mikiemon likes guns, cannons, and rifles, and names his and takes them for walks. He also idolizes Shousei, but not to the extent that Torawaka does.
Raised as a hairdresser, his father was an undercover ninja. He eventually joins Ninjutsu Gakuen, and is allowed into fourth year despite having no previous training, because of his skills with his 'split second hairdressing'.
Fifth Year
Heisuke Kukuchi (久々知 兵助, Kukuchi Heisuke)
Voiced by: Toshimitsu Oda
Long eyelashes and black hair are his defining characteristics. Though his grades are superb and he is earnest and cool, his spontaneous nature was somewhat revealed when he'd failed to realize that the costs of amazake were included in the Explosives Committee's appropriation. Since he had to carry tofu in the Sport's Day relay, he is known as the 'Tofu Kid'. Truthfully he hates this nickname, and in the manga at times he denies liking tofu, but in actuality he is abundant in tofu knowledge and he seems to like tofu cooking. In the anime he will openly declare his love for tofu and treat others to tofu he has prepared himself. He carries freeze-dried tofu around for a mid-afternoon snack. He is the stand-in committee president for the Explosives Committee and rounds up the underclassmen. Although he is Takamaru's senpai he adds "san" to his name since he is older. In the musical his weapon of choice is the suntetsu. In the survival orienteering he was paired in a group with Isuke. His surname comes from Kukuchi in Amagasaki.
Kanemon Ohama (尾浜 勘右衛門, Ohama Kanemon)
Voiced by: Shigeru Shibuya
Though his first appearance was injuring the napping Rantarou, Kirimaru, and Shinbei while practicing his jinba technique, his existence was forgotten for a period of 16 years, until he reappeared in the mixed double survival orienteering in a pair with Torawaka, where his name was finally revealed. On the second occasion when he appeared he did not belong to any committee and was encouraged in vol. 47 by the Headmaster to decide which committee to join while each one ran their food stand at their culture festival. It was later revealed that he was actually a class president and he ended up joining the class president committee. His specialty weapon is the manrikigusari. He is the airhead type who tends to get wrapped up in things. In the original work he has black hair, but in the anime his hair is a deep reddish brown. In first person he uses "ore"; to his superiors he uses "boku" or "watashi". His surname comes from Ohama-cho in Amagasaki, and his name comes from the Kouga ninja Ukai Kanemon.
Gentle and full of kindness, he is a senpai that lovingly takes care of his underclassmen. Though his grades are excellent, his bad habit is that he is always meandering and hesitating with a broad indecisiveness. After thinking too much, he tires and falls asleep right then and there. Of the "three illness of the ninja", he is the "type who lacks thought". Also, if he goes near a dry river bed, the moisture will expand his hair. Hachiya Saburou from the same class is often seen borrowing his face, lending them the relation of "fifth-year rogumi's specialty combination". Yamada-sensei often says "his honesty is his weakness", but in the 18th volume he passed the survival orienteering while retaining his playfulness. In that survival orienteering he was paired in a group with Ayakashimaru. In the original work Raizou's hair is black, but in the anime it is a bright brown. His namesake is from a proverb meaning 'to follow others blindly' (付和雷同, fuwaraido).
A student with a thousand face, to the point that no one, including the school staff, knows his true face, Saburo is a mischievous, calm and cool student who enjoys wearing disguises of just about anyone, and sometimes alternates faces in-between scenes. Saburo most of the time disguises as Raizo considering the two are quite close friends.
Hachizaemon Takeya (竹谷 八左ヱ門, Takeya Hachizaemon)
Voiced by: Ryuichi Azuma
A student with cheerful, optimistic, energetic and also serious attitude, Hachizaemon features long unkempt dull grey-brown hair. As the head of Biological Committee, he holds responsibility in protecting wildlife from being harmed or hunted, which gains respect from his fellow junior committee members (which is dominated with first years). Attempts of hunting wildlife with his presence will only enrage him.
Often portrayed as a leader among the 6th year seniors, Monjiro is a strict, serious senior that focuses on training mentally as much as physically, and his committee members often gets forced into his bizarre trainings such as using 10 kg abacus, sleeping in cold lake at midnight, making weapons out of food, etc. Despite his serious commitments into trainings, he is easily approached outside of training and has good relationship as a caring senior towards his juniors. He has a favourite word - gin gin - that who only used when he gets excited, angry, or emotional. On occasional episodes, he together with Choji and Koheta tagged along with Kirimaru in his part-time job.
A pale-skinned and often regarded as a handsome senior with long straight and silky hair, he leads the Saho committee along with Heidayu as his favorite junior. He has natural talents for explosive, bombs, grenades, often carrying dozens of them with him for convenient purpose. Being as normally a calm, rationally thinking senior, he is often described as an excellent student among the seniors. When carrying out solo missions, he often gets tagged along with Kisanta and Shinbei, who both look up to him, but instead of giving a good help, burdens him instead and gets him caught, bomb explodes in his face, trees fall down on him, etc. He has shorter temper for Kisanta and Shinbei harassing him in his missions.
Chōji Nakazaike (中在家 長次, Nakazaike Chouji)
Voiced by: Shigeru Shibuya
A student who spoke with few words and with few facial expressions, Choji, who speaks slowly, that made his words hard to be conveyed at times, is also the head of librarian. Usually, someone who stands besides him (such as Raizo or Kirimaru who are also librarians) had to be the 'translator' especially to those who don't meet Choji quite often. His expressions can get eerie with one big creepy smile, though his true emotions often contrast his face (such as he will smile creepily when he is hurt, and vice versa). Ironically, Shinbei's little sister Kameko found his smile to be attractive, and even had a crush on him at times.
Koheita is a sixth-year student with much energy and happy-go-lucky, cheerful, exciting and reckless personality. He made a hobby of digging trenches on soil, sometimes using only a pair of kunai, and sometimes with his bare hands. Apart from that, he also has the tendency to spike just about anything that flies towards him to the ground, like a volleyball spike (which occasionally causes problems to others, and even broke his arm). He is easily approachable by others and treats his juniors that come forward for his help with respect, though sometimes, with reckless running. His favorite word is "Ike Ike Don Don".
A student Hagumi that has strong fighting spirit, aggressive and hot tempered, but still cares for his juniors with good tolerant. Tomesaburo and Monjiro however tend to argue which then leads them to brawl and fight each other over 'who is better' or 'who is right' matters. His appearance resembles another character in the series, Yoshiro Suzugoya, which was pointed out by Kihachiro. Tomesaburo and Isaku are classmates, and also roommates, and appears to be close.
A nice, friendly and caring student of 6th year Hagumi that has a personality akin to a gentle big brother to his juniors, though he is cursed with bad luck to himself, and anyone that gets tagged along with him. He is also dubbed by others and his own members - 'bad luck chairman' - and his own committee as 'bad luck committee'. As a Health Committee chairman, he takes on his job giving aid to injured or sick person responsibly and unbiased, that he also treated a Tasogaredoki ninja Zatto Konnamon, who was supposing to be an intruder. He and his committee members often gets greeted by Konnamon uninformed, sometimes with presence of other Tasogaredoki ninjas.
Another teacher of Rantaro, he serves to teach the actual techniques and trains the lazy first graders. Denzo tends to lose his patience faster than Doi. He also shows unnatural fondness in disguising himself as a woman, usually with disastrous results. When he is dressed as a woman, his personality transforms completely too, and he refuses to answer to anything besides 'Denko'. He is Yamada Rikichi's father.
Rantarō's main classroom teacher, he often loses patience with Rantaro and his classmates due to their inability to pay attention. His personality appears to have been the inspiration for Iruka Umino, another ninja teacher who is voiced by the same voice actor.
Shinzaemon Tobe is another teacher at the school, who occasionally appears from time to time. He's a sword instructor who is skilled, but if he doesn't have his daily meals, he loses the strength to even pick up the sword.
Andou is the first grade teacher for another class. He often calls Rantaro's class lazy and unproductive, comparing them to his class which seem to do nothing but study all day, thus getting good marks on their tests.
A 16-year-old working at Ninjutsu Gakuen's administration, he is longing to become a ninja, but his clumsiness prevents his from being one. He originally belongs to a fan shop family in the same town as Saitō family.
Zatto is Tasogaredoki ninja group's leader. Behind his bandages is a severe burn caused by a fire incident nine years ago. A genius and skillful ninja who is easy-going, and sits in a lady-like manner, he is also an acquaintance of Isaku and Fushikizou.
A 16-year-old ninja who belongs to Tasogaredoki Castle, Zatto's underling, he is quite a strong fighter, but always has his strength losing to his youthful innocence. He was defeated by Doi Hansuke using only chalks and attendance record, and proclaims a rivalry to him not long after.
Yamamoto is in command after Zatto together with Oshitsu Osaretsu. He appeared at Ninjutsu Gakuen's cultural festival, giving Fushikizou a Zatto plush.
Zatto's underling, he acts as a senior to Sonnamon. He also appeared at Ninjutsu Gakuen's cultural festival, helping out the Health Committee with their booth.
