'''''Kiteretsu Daihyakka''''' is a [[Science Fiction]] manga created by Fujiko Fujio in 1974. Adopting the same basic formula set by [[Doraemon]], the [[Kodomomuke|child-friendly]] comic strip continued until 1977, after which it was adapted into [[Animated Adaptation|animated form]] by Studio Gallop in 1988. Broadcast for a total of six years on Fuji TV, the [[Anime]] expanded the original storyline considerably, developing an extended [[Romance Arc
The series' premise recycled elements of several earlier Fujio projects, particularly the [[Book Dumb|everyboy hero]] with a [[Robot Buddy|magical helper]]. In this case, however, the usual character dynamic was reversed, with the protagonist being a child prodigy and the [[Robot Buddy]] being an incompetent twit.
At the outset of the story, young '''Eiichi Kite''' has been experimenting with various ingenious devices, all of which cause [[Hilarity Ensues|massive property damage]] when activated. Frustrated to the point of surrender, Eiichi takes heart when he learns that one of his ancestors was the Japanese [[Leonardo
Investigating further into his family's history, Eiichi stumbles over an ancient manuscript - '''Kiteretsu's Encyclopedia''' - and discovers that his ancestor invented considerably ''more'' than bamboo hang-gliders. Using the codex, Eiichi successfully constructs a small (but [[Too Dumb to Live|completely useless]]) robot named '''Korosuke'''. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as the pair join forces to bring Kiteretsu's designs to life...with [[Disaster Dominoes|predictably catastrophic consequences]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Like Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket, Kiteretsu's Encyclopedia is an unending source of miraculous gadgets.
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: The animated version ran considerably longer than the original manga, resulting in stronger plotlines and character development.
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* [[Book Dumb]]: Maybe. While Eiichi is an engineering genius, it's suggested that he's only an average student.
** Then again, Einstein's intelligence was frequently questioned during his childhood...
* [[Bruiser
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Korosuke for the most part. In contrast to Doraemon, Koro-san usually takes the fall when [[Hilarity Ensues|one of Eiichi's experiments malfunctions]].
* [[Expy]]: Suneo (from Doraemon) is cloned under the name Tongari, serving as Eiichi's chief [[Rival]] in the manga. Amusingly, while Tongari has eyes for Miyoko, she barely even acknowledges his existence. (Eventually Tongari got a steady girlfriend, a traveling child singer).
