Oruchuban Ebichu - Ebichu (Takara)Ebichu · Takara

This Ebichu figure is produced by Takara, based on the titular character from Oruchuban Ebichu. The figure captures the distinctive hamster housekeeper in her characteristic simple art style. Oruchuban Ebichu is a sex comedy manga series by Risa Ito that was originally published in Futabasha's Manga Action Pizazz magazine starting in the 1990s. The series was adapted into a 12-episode anime in 1999 by Gainax, airing as part of the anthology show Modern Love's Silliness. The story follows Ebichu, a devoted female hamster who serves as a housekeeper for her owner, a 25-year-old office worker known only as OL. Ebichu is fiercely loyal but lacks tact, frequently embarrassing her owner with inappropriate comments and practical jokes, which often results in physical comedy. Despite the abuse she receives, Ebichu endlessly praises her master and attempts to correct OL's poor life decisions, particularly regarding OL's unreliable boyfriend, whom Ebichu nicknames Kaishounachi, meaning worthless man. Produced by Takara, this figure represents one of the collectible releases based on the cult classic series, which is notable for its adult-oriented humor and Gainax's involvement in the anime adaptation.
