Description
Perasuke, alternatively called Parrosuke or Cotorrín in specific regions, is a prehistoric talking green parrot from an unnamed jungle era. His marriage to Otake-san, a larger and more assertive female parrot, involved frequent arguments and her critical demeanor, deeply shaping his conduct.
His central plot involvement commenced when Dr. Kieta’s time machine, the Time Mechabuton, materialized in his habitat. During a heated quarrel with Otake-san, Perasuke fled into the machine to escape her, accidentally triggering it. This transported him to the present while stranding Dr. Kieta in the past. Consequently, Perasuke became the sole source of information about the doctor’s location, though his accounts proved unreliable due to memory lapses, intentional lies, or self-serving motives.
Initially portrayed as selfish and cowardly, Perasuke focused on evading responsibility and reuniting with his wife. He displayed pronounced laziness and gluttony, especially for cream puffs. His speech consistently ended with the suffix "pecha," originating from the Japanese word for "chitchat." He sustained a combative dynamic with Chorobo, a robot assigned to monitor him, and routinely conflicted with other protagonists—often deceiving them for personal advantage or deserting them during missions. His untrustworthiness occasionally drove him to briefly collaborate with antagonists when enticed by rewards.
A notable behavioral shift followed Dr. Kieta’s rescue. Perasuke showed improvement, genuinely striving to reunite with Otake-san and proactively aiding protagonists by warning them of antagonists’ schemes, despite ongoing amnesia about his origins.
His story culminated in the final episode when he reunited with Otake-san in their native time period—revealed as present-day in a park. Their relationship retained its argumentative nature, but the ordeal enriched their lives, confirming their mutual affection.
Beyond the main series, a pink parrot resembling Perasuke briefly appeared as a pirate’s pet in episode 22 of the spin-off *Kiramekiman*. He also had a non-speaking cameo as a paper mache sculpture in episode 16 of the 2008 *Yatterman* series. In Arashi’s "Believe" music video, Perasuke appeared alongside band member Ohno Satoshi, acting as a non-talking parrot that alerts characters to dangers. Throughout the original series, he consistently announced episode previews.
