This is a very silly, fairly crudely-drawn tale of Pon-tarou, a young tanuki (racoon dog) out on a stroll on his own. His mother told him that it's ok to wander away from the house to play, just stay away from humans. Unfortunately, Pon forgets her warning, and eventually discovers a hot tub in the middle of a field. He crawls inside and enjoys a hot bath, until the old man that built the tub comes along. Pon remembers his mother's words, and tries to shapeshift. However, he's never been able to shift before, so the best he can do now is turn into a fish. The old man gets into the tub and after a while starts noticing a tickling. Since fish are not commonly found in hot tubs, he becomes curious and tries to catch it. Pon is overcome by the heat and stress, and reverts to tanuki form. The old man is amazed by this, but Pon is sweating so heavily, he throws the creature away. Pon recovers and runs happily back home to tell his mother than he can shapeshift now. Masuzou Furukawa (1950-) is notable, if for no other reason, for having founded the Mandarake used bookstore chain, with the first shop opening on the second floor of the Broadway department store in Nakano (west of Shinjuku a few miles) in 1980. "Field Bath" was his debut work, and shortly afterward he joined Mizuki Pro in July, 1970, as an assistant artist. He worked various part-time jobs to supplement his income as an artist from roughly 1971 to 1980, which included a stint at another bookstore, which prompted him to open Mandarake. Various sources, including Anime News Network, identify Furukawa as one of Garo's "1-2-3" artists of the '70s and '80s, along with Oji Suzuki and Shin'ichi Abe (supposedly the second syllable of each artist's name sounds like "one", "two" and "three" when taken in order). We'll see Furukawa show up again in July, 1971, with "Violet Legend".

Oh, he's quick to tell you he's retired from that sort of thing, just a humble bookkeeper these days, but if he sees a pretty woman wearing an honest man's yearly salary in gems he can't help but schmooze and consider jumping right back in.

Noburo was active during the Golden Age of piracy and even played cards with Gol D. Roger and his crew every once in a while.

The ribbon-ribbon fruit is terribly useful, especially for a thief. He can use it to flatten himself and slip under a door or through a crack in the wall, hide under furniture to eavesdrop.

However. The uh. The awakened form. It's terribly embarrassing, you see. He spent so much time training and honing his abilities, hard work over decades of his life. And in the end, it gives him a stupid magical girl transformation. (Yes, he was created solely for this joke, and developed further from there). It's embarrassing for a man of any age, but for a dapper gentleman in his 70s, well, it ruins his image.

@maidsonas ( i love you in a hero and fan girl type of relationship) and thus sparked an idea ..... Nezu adopts a kid that is similar to himself .

Noburo was originally a normal White widow Spider who was snuck into japan via airplane, And was affected Radiation emitted from a container in the cargo portion of the plane . Which caused a Humanoid mutation into a 5’3” spider humanoid . This airplane was later high jacked by villians who discovered this creature , who Imprisoned and made her suffer through Painful DNA extractions , Controlled shocks , and brutal tests.
