Description
Abandoned as an infant in the African savanna, Taa-chan was discovered and raised by the chimpanzee Etekichi, forging a unique existence separate from human society. His precise origins remain shrouded in mystery, glimpsed only through unreliable, humorous flashbacks. He permanently resides at "African Savanna, Three Trees 7-4-10."

Standing 187 cm tall and weighing 110 kg with blood type B, his unusual upbringing granted him extraordinary capabilities. He communicates with animals, imitates their behaviors, possesses superhuman strength and reflexes, and heals rapidly from severe injuries. His primary combat style is bare-handed fighting, occasionally supplemented by weapons like blowguns or boomerangs. Remarkable physical traits include extreme bodily flexibility—enabling him to bend backward and lick his own buttocks—and the ability to stretch his scrotal skin to glide through the air like a Japanese giant flying squirrel. In dire combat situations, he employs a "Poop Power Up," defecating to regain strength and overcome damage.

Deeply reverent of nature and animals, he fiercely protects the savanna's peace from poachers and threats. Despite this noble drive, he exhibits overt perversion, collecting tourist-discarded pornographic magazines and frequently reacting to attractive women. He professes unwavering devotion to his wife Jane, claiming reactions are instinctual while she alone holds his true affection. Lacking general common sense, he demonstrates rapid learning abilities, mastering submission holds overnight from a book. His hobbies include cooking, specializing in eggplant in mustard and misozuke. Alcohol intoxication triggers dangerously aggressive behavior.

Key relationships define his life: Jane, his wife met during her African modeling career, serves as his linguistic and intellectual anchor, teaching him human language and aiding strategy. Etekichi, his chimpanzee guardian, transitions from "father" to companion after Taa-chan learns of Etekichi abandoning his own wife. Significant allies include Pedro Kazmaier, a French karate champion turned devoted disciple; Anabebe, an Upopo Clan warrior and friendly rival; and Ryo-shihan, a Hakkaken martial arts master joining after a Chinese tournament.

His journey evolves from episodic comedic adventures protecting the jungle with gag humor, often involving genital jokes, towards extended battle arcs. He confronts martial arts clans, vampire conspirators, and his own clone created by the organization MAX. Despite these escalating conflicts, his core motivation—defending his home, Jane, and animal companions—remains constant. Development includes reconciling with human siblings during the Corgan family arc and maintaining loyalty to allies, though his fundamental traits of perversion, combat prowess, and nature connection persist.

After major battles, he consistently returns to his gag-oriented savanna life, though his formidable reputation attracts global challengers. His story concludes with allies gathering for Pedro's wedding, symbolizing the enduring bonds forged throughout his journey.
