POO RULES! For some seemingly inexplicable reason, No. 2 is No. 1 with Japanese kids. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Brennan Conaway Dec. 13, 1999 | A recent cartoon on Japanese TV features a hero who makes a sidekick out of his own feces. Meanwhile, at the local temple, visitors buy plastic poop trinkets to bring them good luck. And at the corner store, a vast array of poop-shaped candy is on sale -- a veritable coprophagous feast. The turd -- presented in Japan as a prettified swirl resembling soft ice cream -- has become a recurring motif in Japanese pop culture. There's there's even a term for it -- maki guso -- which roughly translates as "curlicue poo." The recent poop-centric "Gakkyu-o Yamazaki" (Classroom King) cartoon on TV is a video version of the comic book with the same name. It features the adventures of a schoolboy locked in battle with his bowel movements. Unique as that may sound, Gakkya-o Yamazaki is not the first popularization of poo in a kid's cartoon. "Ugo Ugo Ruuga" ("Go Go Girl," jumbled up), an infamously hallucinogenic kid's show of the early '90s, featured a pointy-headed excretum that emerged from the toilet and spouted Western philosophy. |
