As his April 1st birthday would suggest, Badtz Maru is one mischievous little
penguin. He lives with his mother and pinball-playing father in Gorgeoustown. He attends the first grade at the Gorgeous Academy where he plays recess with his friends Hana Maru, a white seal, and Pandaba, a panda bear. After school Badtz Maru attracts lots of attention as he walks around the park with his pet alligator, but Pochi is as nice a gator as you will ever meet. Badtz Maru has dreams of greatness when he grows up, but for now he rolls his eyes at his humorous life in Gorgeoustown.
