Within the Time Bokan franchise, Jōji Yanami is best known for voicing the various “smart henchmen” in the evil trios: Grocky (Time Bokan), Boyacky (Yatterman), Tobacke (Zenderman), Sekovitchi (Otasukeman), Julie Kokematsu (Yattodetaman), Kosuinen (Ippatsuman), Dasainen (Itadakiman), Hieru (Kiramekiman).  He would return to reprise the character/s in any appearance they would make prior to his retirement from voicework in 2015. 

Famously, him saying “pochittona” (ポチッとな) as a button was being pressed was an ab-lib line, and since has gone on to be the onomatopoeia to describe the sound of a button being pushed in Japan.

Considering the merchandise driven nature of the Time Bokan series, I’m surprised that a commercial for some of the toys just recently surfaced, let alone for Itadakiman.

What I expected:

What I got:

Poor Dirt Cheap Trio of Itadakiman! You guys have no luck at all.  Your show didn't even last a full proper season of 26 episodes before getting pulled due to low ratings!  And one of your episodes never aired at the time because of a baseball game!
