Calpine is so beloved that plush toys and other items are sold.

Dr. Xu called Kaluamilk-chan "Kalu" and loved her.
We now have Pinky and Tamago.
In the past, I also had Akapuku and Mashu-chan. They were given a lot of love by Dr. Xu.
Calpin is such an important character, born out of Dr. Xu's love for Cal, a member of his family.
Dr. Xu is a famous cat lover, and I feel that Calpine was born out of his love of cats.
Calpine-related episodes

In the daily episodes, we can see a different side of the characters and see new charms.
In addition, the anime that aired 21 years ago captured the hearts of fans with its original storyline and depiction of the anime.
Among them, there are episodes in which Calpine plays an active role, which we will introduce here.
Calpine's Great Adventure
- Original story (Book 6, Genius 48, "The Day Before the Metropolitan Games: The Adventures of Calpin")
Here, on the day before the Tokyo tournament, while Ryoma is practicing on his own, Carpin goes for a walk on his own.
The background of Calpine's walk depicted how the Aogaku regulars spent the day before the Tokyo tournament.
Make it look as if Calpine is taking a walk,A valuable story about the players' holiday.It was.
Incidentally, it was Takeshi Momoshiro, also a member of the tennis club, who protected Karpin who was taking a walk.
He knew that Carpin was Ryoma's cat, so he delivered it to him.
Why Momojo knew that Carpin was Ryoma's cat is not clear,When we get to know each other, I have a cat that looks like a raccoon.and that he learned about it from the pictures he was shown at that time.Questions for Momojo in Fan Book 10.5Momojo answered the question in the following way.
- Animation (Episode 27 "Carpin's Great Adventure")
This one also depicts the day before the Tokyo Metropolitan Games.
Unlike the original story, which depicted a holiday,Anipuri shows characters going through school lifewas painted.
Ryoma leaves the house in a hurry, just in time to be late, and inadvertently puts Carpin's catnip in his bag, and Carpin follows the catnip outside.
As if looking for Ryoma, Calpin takes a walk around the school.
The anime depicted the members of the tennis club as they went about their school life.
Various services were included for the fans, such as taking classes and at lunch break.
The charm of this story is the scene where Kaido, who is strict with himself and others, happily plays catnip with Karpin.
When Ryoma learns that Calpine is at school, he follows Momoshiro out of club activities and goes home to look for Calpine, but at the wrong time, Calpine enters the tennis club room and encounters Kaido.
After that, Carpin was tired of playing and went straight into a dream.
The great adventure of Calpine ends with the protection of Calpine and his delivery to Ryoma's house.
To thank Momoshiro for his help with Calpine, Ryoma plays tennis with Momoshiro and strengthens his resolve for the Tokyo tournament.
The service episode was packed with the charms of the tennis club members and Calpine.
Anime Episode 172 "Goodbye Aogaku"
This episode is from an anime episode that aired from 2001,Original episodes not in the original workThe following is a summary of the results of the survey.
Ryoma was going to the U.S. to participate in the U.S. Open, and on his way to the hotel where he was staying, he noticed a movement in his bag, and when he opened it, he found Calpine, who was supposed to be in Japan.
Apparently, he didn't want to leave Ryoma, so he followed him.
Rather, how did you not get caught by the X-ray check at the airport?
summary
How was it?
It is no exaggeration to say that Ryoma's adorable cat, Calpin, and his cute little cat, Calpin's adorable gestures were depicted in the anime as he began to move, and he won the hearts of his fans.
At the time of the broadcast, stuffed animals of Calpine were available for sale, but the quality was not flattering, but the Calpine plush sold last year has been reproduced with a fluffy feel and design that makes it look as if the real Calpine has arrived.
This quality,Junko Minagawa, who plays Ryoma, is also a drummer.It was.
Actually, I also purchased a stuffed Calpine toy.
It was as smooth and fluffy as you describe in your profile. It was so cute I thought the real Carpin had come to our house.
Although we are only talking about Calpine, please do not forget about "The Prince of Tennis," which is also very interesting, so please check out the original story and the anime as well!
