TV Special
Description
Louis Stream, alias Louie, is an original character crafted for the 1989 anime adaptation of *Time Patrol Bon*, serving as the elder brother of Ream Stream. He partially inherits the narrative role of John Defoe as a non-malicious time criminal. Louie possesses a tall, slender physique and anchors his actions in a fierce sense of justice and compassion, especially toward innocent animals and people. This compels him to prioritize ethical imperatives over Time Patrol protocols—attempting murder to prevent Leviathan and right whales from extinction and intervening to save Bon Namihira from execution.
A skilled Time Patrol officer, Louie demonstrates expertise in zoology and veterinary medicine alongside close-combat proficiency, exemplified when disarming criminals unarmed inside a pyramid. He first encounters Bon and Ream in the Cretaceous period while protecting dinosaurs from time-traveling poachers. Ream’s plea for Bon’s life prompts Louie to advocate for Bon’s recruitment as a Time Patrol trainee. Later, alongside Buyoyon, Louie rescues Ream and Bon from criminal time travelers in Egypt.
After the Leviathan incident, Time Patrol headquarters issues a warrant for Louie’s arrest. Ream, Bon, and Yumiko Yasukawa protest and appeal to Gayler, securing Louie’s acquittal—aided by Bon and Yumiko preventing the murder. This contrasts with John Defoe’s arrest in the source material. Buyoyon consistently shows respect toward Louie during their interactions.
Louie is absent from the 2024 anime adaptation, likely due to production occurring after Fujiko F. Fujio’s 1996 death without the author’s involvement. His anime-original status may also contribute, with uncertainty regarding Fujiko’s initial conception for the manga before cancellation. The dynamic between Louie and Ream shares similarities with Lulu and her brother Lex in *Doraemon: Nobita’s Dinosaur 2006*.
