Shibaten-chan is a descendant of the shibaten, a yokai resembling a kappa that has been passed down in Tosa since long ago and loves sumo wrestling. When she sees people, she invites them by saying, “Let’s wrestle, wrestle.” She works hard every day promoting tourism in Kochi. She currently lives as a houseguest in the proprietress’s home at Restaurant Hamanaga. Chaccha~♪
