Ikeda Taeko

In the Taepi Happy series: Shichigatsu Kakumei!! Natsuki aims to become a star female professional wrestler in order to be found by her missing father. However, she is told by the organization to become a male professional wrestler...!? Wagamama Baby Manami is a middle school student who is busy with love and play. However, one day, a suspenseful comedy about raising a 2-year-old child, Ikumi!! Chichin Puipui Ranran is the only daughter of a Chinese restaurant owner. Her noodles are the best in the world. Their restaurant is thriving thanks to the panda ramen, which is paired with her father's secret ancestral soup. One day, a panda suddenly falls from the sky and crashes into his father. His father gets injured and he ends up in the hospital for three months. Ranran is at a loss because there is no one left to make her special soup, but the panda suddenly starts speaking in human language. Pui Pui is a space panda who came from the planet Chichin and claims to be a ramen chef. He offers to make soup for his father, who is injured and unable to move.

Karin Kokubu is late for school one day when she comes across an apparently injured yellow pig. It turns out the pig wasn't injured, just hungry, and he gets back his health when he eats Karin's apple. When Karin gets to school, she discovers that the pig has stowed away in her backpack, which causes her more trouble. Later she meets the pig again and finds out he can talk and fly, and he gives her a "pigompact," which she opens--and a pig snout appears from it and attaches itself to her nose! She finds the pig again, who explains that he is actually Prince Tonrariāno III of the planet Buuringo. He tells her how she can transform: by saying "BA BI BU BE BOorin!" and she transforms into a superpowered pink piglet called Buurin. This is not something Karin is happy about at all, as she'd rather transform into a heroine like her idol the henshin hero tokusatsu character "Cutey Chao" (who is possibly a reference to Cutey Honey). Tonrariāno (who she calls Ton-chan) tells her if she can collect 108 pearls by doing good deeds as Buurin, she can do so.
