Description
Prince Iggy hails as an extraterrestrial royal from the apple-shaped planet Buringo, formally Prince Tonrariano the 3rd and heir to its throne. His Earth mission constitutes a mandatory kingship trial: to select and mentor a human protector.
Initially disguised as a mundane yellow pig, he feigns injury to attract schoolgirl Karin Kokubu. Upon eating her apple, he unveils speech and flight abilities. He gifts Karin a "Dream Tonpact" compact that magically bonds a pig snout to her nose, enabling her transformation into superheroine Tonde Burin via the chant "Ba Bi Bu Be Burin!" His duty requires guiding Karin to gather 108 mystical pearls through altruistic acts, governed by karmic rules—misusing powers depletes pearls. Completing the collection fulfills his trial, securing his kingship while permitting Karin to adopt a non-pig heroic form.
His personality blends carefree charm and intellectual curiosity, often seen engrossed in books. He voices regret over Karin’s early aversion to her pig-themed identity. Apples remain his recurring preference, and he fluently speaks "pig Latin," his homeworld’s tongue. Functionally, he acts as Karin’s tactical advisor, flying alongside her missions and occasionally impersonating Tonde Burin to conceal her identity. He covertly resides in Karin’s bedroom, evading human detection.
His background stems from a dynasty of magical guardians; his father, Tonrariano the 2nd, once trained Earth’s ancient protectors. This legacy informs his expertise with transformation artifacts, like repairing the fragile pig snout after its destruction. Throughout his arc, he evolves from a self-centered prince to a dedicated mentor, aiding Karin against foes like wealthy rival Heather Kuroha and navigating school tournaments or environmental threats. He consults his father via the Tonpact for guidance and pearl-tracking.
Temporarily departing Earth when his father falls ill, he later resumes supporting Karin on Buringo, though his kingship ascension remains pending. His growth emphasizes escalating responsibility—from trial obligation to authentic commitment to Earth’s defense and his protégée’s welfare.
