Question 1 - Research
Handa-kun (2016)
Anime adaptation of the manga that takes
place six years prior to the events of
Barakamon, detailing the life of Seishuu
Handa as a high school studentand a very
interesting life it is. In Handa-kun, Seishuu
Handa is admired by his peers as a
calligraphy genius and given the utmost
respect, but Handa-kun himself is under the
mistaken impression that the deference and
attention he receives from the other students
is actually bullying. Handa just wants to
live a quiet life, but hilarity ensues as one
character after another challenges his
position as the school idol, and somehow
comes away as a fan all while Handa is
horrified and clueless.

Height (ft): 6' 3"

Pokmon research

Garbodor has the appearance of a pile of trash spilling out of a

large, torn garbage bag. It has a round, lumpy body that is
mostly tan with blue and pink lumps. Its head has the
appearance of the tied end of a garbage bag that has been
ripped open and trails down like a cape. It has two
appendages that look like clumps of garbage coming from its
head. Its large, round eyes have small pupils, and when it
opens its mouth, its large, triangular teeth can be seen.
Garbodor has two long arms made of garbage that are held
together with piping, and fingers also made up of piping
material. It has one finger on its left hand and three on the
