Description
The character, known as Robert in some regions, is originally named Hakushon Daimaō. He is a genie who resides within an ancient bottle, which is discovered by a young boy. His summoning is triggered whenever a person near the bottle sneezes, and upon appearing, he is compelled to grant a wish for the one who sneezed.
He takes the form of a large and rotund figure. His nature is defined by an extreme clumsiness that frequently causes his efforts at wish-granting to go awry, leading to unintended complications and trouble for those involved. Despite his role, his actions often create more problems than they solve.
He has a daughter, Akubi, who also inhabits the bottle and is summoned when someone yawns. Their relationship forms a significant part of his background, with his daughter often exhibiting a more mischievous nature. A younger son named Pūta was introduced in the 2020 sequel, summoned by a different bodily function.
A central element of his story is the bond he forms with the family that possesses his bottle. His narrative concludes under a predetermined magical rule: after a specific number of wishes, he must return to the bottle and enter a state of hibernation on the moon for one hundred years. Though efforts are made to prevent this, the event ultimately occurs, resulting in a permanent separation.
In the 2020 sequel series, set five decades after the original events, he returns to the human world. His magic is often seen as outdated or unnecessary in the modern era due to technological progress. His role becomes more supportive, with the narrative focus shifting to his daughter Akubi and the grandson of his original summoner. He displays a deep emotional attachment to the human world, crying enough tears to flood a room upon realizing his magic may no longer be needed.
His legacy continues through his children, who persist in interacting with humans and causing their own brand of humorous chaos. His son Pūta proves to be an even more troublesome figure than his sister was in the original series.
