Description
Mujirō is a character from the anime Agriculture Angel Baraki (also known as Agukaru). He is one of three antagonistic pest-type animal characters, commonly referred to as the Goyappe Brothers or the vicious pest trio, alongside Pojirin and Degoro. Mujirō is depicted as a raccoon-like figure, often seen wearing a hat, cape, and boots, and is categorized as an animal character type. He and his companions suddenly appear in the farmlands near Mount Tsukuba in Ibaraki Prefecture, where they begin attacking the fields of the protagonist, Sanae Baraki, using highly advanced mecha. Their goal is to seize control of Ibaraki’s fertile agricultural land and bring despair to the local population, ultimately aiming to conquer the entire prefecture. Despite their ruthless methods, the trio also engages in mundane part-time work to fund their operations, such as making buns at a confectionery shop in Inashiki City and running a junk collection service. Mujirō’s role in the story is that of a recurring antagonist who, along with his partners, serves as a constant threat to Sanae’s farming life, forcing her to transform into the Agriculture Angel Baraki to defend her land. The trio’s actions are depicted as both menacing and somewhat absurd, as they combine destructive attacks with a visible need for financial resources. Mujirō’s key relationships are with his fellow villains Pojirin and Degoro, with whom he operates as a tight-knit unit, and with Sanae Baraki as his primary opponent. The character undergoes minimal development over the course of the series, remaining a consistent obstacle whose motivations are rooted in a desire for domination. His notable abilities include piloting large, versatile mecha that can assume humanoid and vehicle forms, demonstrating high-level control technology. The exact origin of these machines is left unclear.
