A character whose quirk could only work in a gag series as long-running as Kochikame, he spends almost the entire run of the series sleeping off-screen. Despite the fact that characters don’t actually age in the series in real-time, he is awoken for a chapter every four years during the Summer Olympics. But this was done in real years, meaning he appeared in the series about once every two-hundred chapters and then immediately went back into being off-screen.
In this way, he is a popular character from the series’ history and regularly appeared in tributes and promotional artwork or color spreads but has actually had less screen-time than many throw-away characters from the forty-year history of the weekly series.
