This is a translation of the source description. Dates, affiliations and plans refer to the source’s publication context, not a guarantee of current activity.

Dotonbori's publicity director, Kanibon, is a six-year-old boy active as Kani Doraku's character. He mistakenly believes the third-generation crab on the main store's sign is his father and dreams of becoming the fourth-generation idol someday. For now, he works to enliven Dotonbori and entertain visitors.
