Synopsis

Ken-chan Toko-chanThis is the second installment of the Ken-chan Series, which succeeded the Chako-chan Series. In this story, the protagonist Ken-chan, who is popular with viewers, is joined by his pretty younger sister, Toko-chan. The siblings are growing up healthy in an ordinary household, featuring a father who works for a trading company and a stay-at-home mother. One day, Ken-chan receives a toy racing car, and Toko-chan begins wanting the same one. While trying to hide the toy from her, poor Ken-chan accidentally stains his father’s work documents. Thinking that the younger Toko-chan wouldn't be scolded, he tries to make her take the blame. This series is filled with such childlike ideas, depicting realistic daily life that evokes nostalgia in adults and resonates with children’s feelings.This drama aired on the TBS network from March 5, 1970, to March 4, 1971. While the father in the previous installment ran a transportation business, his occupation was changed to a salaried employee working at a trading company for this installment. This was a deliberate choice by the producers, who wanted to create a drama that parents and children could talk about after watching together. Notably, only this installment features a salaried worker’s family in the Ken-chan Series. Toko-chan, making her debut in this drama, became just as popular as Ken-chan and continued to appear in subsequent series. While the series started in black-and-white, it changed to a colorcast starting with Episode 31 on October 1, 1970. Along with this change, the opening sequence was updated from the scenes of the neighborhood to the scenes of Ken-chan and others playing at an amusement park.
