Hatsumei Boy Kanipan
Hatsumei Boy Kanipan (発明BOYカニパン, Hatsumei Bōi Kanipan; trans. Inventor Boy Kanipan) is a 1998 Japanese anime television series produced by NAS and TV Tokyo, animated by Studio Comet and sponsored by Sega. The series was inspired by the 1994 SNES game Robotrek, developed by Quintet. It was immediately followed by a second season titled Chō Hatsumei Boy Kanipan (超発明BOYカニパン, Chō Hatsumei Bōi Kanipan; trans. Super Inventor Boy Kanipan). In late 2000, Saban Entertainment licensed the series to air on Fox Kids in September 2001 but it did not air for unknown reasons.
In the future, humans and robots coexist peacefully, now living on the technologically advanced artificial planet Planet Sharaku, built by an inventor named Professor Taishi 200 years ago. All inventors are required to have an inventor's license, which has certain levels (C-Level, B-Level, A-Level, and TAISHI-Level) depending on the evaluation of the inventor.
The story revolves around the life of Kanipan, a young boy who dreams of being a world-level inventor. He comes to Monshiro Town with his Interface Robot, Kid, in order to reach the coveted TAISHI-Level inventor's license. Starting as a fledgling C-Level inventor and initially failing quite a bit, he meets a variety of characters on Planet Sharaku on his quest to be the best.
Five years have passed since the events of the first season, and the citizens' lives on Planet Sharaku have become even wealthier. Kanipan, now a teenager, is still aiming to reach TAISHI-Level status and is currently an A-Level inventor. During the 200th anniversary celebration of Planet Sharaku, a mysterious ship falls from the sky and crashes on a beach. Inside the ship is a girl named Angelica, who has lost her memory except for her name. It is up to Kanipan to help Angelica regain her memory, and in the process he accidentally discovers that his planet is in great danger.
A musical based on the series, named Hatsumei Boy Kanipan (発明BOYカニパン, Hatsumei Bōi Kanipan; trans. Inventor Boy Kanipan), was performed at the Ginza Hakuhinkan Theater from December 1998 to early January 1999. The musical had an original story by Yūji Mitsuya (one of the series' ADR directors), and starred Mizuki Sano as Kanipan, Yuta Enomoto as Salt, Ayako Morino as Nuts, Tetsurō Adachi as Ravioli, Masami Suzuki as Naruto and Mino, Chieko Higuchi as Taffy, and Kanako Mitsuhashi as Milk.
A one-shot manga adaptation written and illustrated by Toshio Tanigami was serialized in the October 1998 issue of Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic. It covers the first half of the anime.
Another manga, A-kyū Roboto!? Kid-kun (A級ロボト!?キッドくん; An A-Level Robot!? Kid-kun), was serialized in color at the end of Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic's April 1999 and August 1999 issues. Also written and illustrated by Tanigami, it is not a manga adaptation of the anime series, but an original story with Kid as the main character, and is a short manga with science fiction gags. Kanipan Club, which contained information on the anime and games, was also launched at the same time. It has not been published in book form or republished.
The monthly CoroCoro Comic magazine also published new information about the anime in its March 1999 issue, as well as game advertisements and articles by Sega and Taito from June to October of that year.
