Manmaru the Ninja Penguin Characters at PopRot
Main characters
Manmaru the Ninja Penguin is built around a simple animal-comedy trio: Manmaru’s gentle weirdness, Tanutaro’s temper, and Tsunejiro’s nervous caution. Jiya acts as the older mentor who pushes them into the long-running mountain ninja conflict.
- Manmaru — the penguin recruit whose soccer dream clashes with ninja duty.
- Tanutaro — quick-tempered raccoon trainee and comic foil.
- Tsunejiro — cautious fox trainee who reacts badly to Manmaru’s unpredictability.
- Jiya — the old man who brings Manmaru into the ninja setting.
Image note
Distinct character model sheets were not available from a verified accessible source in this run. The posts use PopRot-hosted official program key art that represents the property instead of scraped unofficial character art.
Source note: PopRot researched this guide from TV Asahi’s program guide, Anime News Network encyclopedia data, and the English Wikipedia/Wikidata summary of Ninpen Manmaru. No anime-specific Fandom wiki was found for this property during this run, and AniList/Kitsu access was unavailable or incomplete, so episode-level scene recaps are intentionally source-limited rather than invented.
