Hakushon
Daimao (also known as The Genie Family) is an old comedy anime
made by Tatsunoko Productions. The series ran from October 5th, 1969, to
September 27th 1970, and had 52 episodes in all. Hakushon Daimao made his
fighting game debut in the Japanese version of Tatsunoko VS Capcom. Due to
licensing issues, Hakushon Daimao didn't appear in Tatsunoko VS Capcom:
Ultimate All Stars.
As the story goes: An old bottle has
found it's way to a modern family. A Genie and his daughter, Akubi reside
inside the bottle. It is owned by a child named Kan. What he is unaware
of when he finds the bottle is that whenever anyone sneezes, the Genie
is brought out and must grant the wishes of whoever sneezed. Whenever anyone
yawns, his daughter must do likewise. Getting these wishes granted may
not be a good thing though, the Genie is extremely clumsy and usually bungles
whatever wish he grants. Akubi is mischievous and likes to twist the words
of anyone's wishes so that something bad usually comes of it. All of this
results in hilarious adventures for the poor family who owns the bottle!
