Description
Pi is a young inhabitant of the planet Riruru, stranded on Earth after his people's spaceship crash-lands. As a Rirurian, he possesses a significantly diminutive stature, comparable to the size of a human palm, and is identified as Memole's younger brother.
He forms part of Memole's core group of companions, alongside Popit and Rupang. This group frequently ventures beyond their isolated village to explore human environments, showcasing Pi's inherent curiosity despite the risks posed by their size difference with humans. His interactions intensify upon their collective discovery of Mariel, a human girl confined to her home by fragile health. Pi participates when Memole's tear falls onto Mariel's lips, inadvertently contributing to her recovery and cementing the bond between the Rirurians and Mariel.
Throughout his experiences, Pi reflects a blend of cautious adaptation to Earth and growing familiarity with human society, particularly through involvement in Mariel's life. He utilizes local wildlife like an owl named Bo-bo for transportation. His character arc emphasizes companionship and the gradual bridging of cultural gaps between species.
This portrayal remains consistent across the original 50-episode television series (1984-1985), the 1985 compilation film, and the 1985 original video animation *Marielle no Hōsekibako*. Pi functions primarily as a supportive figure within Memole's adventures and her friendship with Mariel.
