Rikit (Waku)

Rikit (Rikitto) is a fictional character of the Japanese anime and comic strip series, Rikit and Jacaro (Rikitto To Jakaro) created by John Ashu under his Japanese pen name, Fujiko J. Fujio.

Personality
Rikit is a good-hearted but short-tempered Topanto who has an ability to grant wishes to anyone who wishes for something. He is extremely afraid of insects due to one of them causing him to have an accident with his original ears. Rikit has often shown himself to be mischevious when it comes to wishes (Ex. Jacaro wished to be taller but Rikit actually made him smaller). One of his character traits is his love for anpans to the point where everytime he sees an anpan, he would go crazy and try to eat it. Rikit is also in love with a Vixen named Ceecee (a neighbourhood Vixen who thinks she's a Cat when she was adopted and raised by Cats after her real parents got killed by a hunter) and always tries to be a good boyfriend to her,

History
Rikit was created on the 1st of December by Hiroshi Fujimoto in Heaven with some clay he had when he came to heaven. When he was finished making Rikit, Mokono Kamiya, Jacaro's cousin and the son of Eri Yoriyama and Akiyoshi Kamiya, was murdered by a Christian nutjob at the age of 1 due to coming from a Buddist family so Rikit, after graduating from Heaven Community School, was assigned by Hiroshi to take care of Mokono.

10 years later, Rikit and Mokono were both having a walk around heaven when a butterfly was flying around Rikit, causing his ears to get ran over by a passing Van. Rikit was taken to a Hospital where he has to get new ears but one of the Angels gave him a Cat and a Dog ears by mistake when he was blindfolded, causing him to get mocked and humuliated by the other Topantos for the next five years.

One day, Kana, a Mocano created by Shotaro Ishinomori, met Rikit, who was taking care of Mokono, and introduced herself as his best friend and also introduced Mikit, a Topanto also created by Hiroshi Fujimoto, as Rikit's younger sister but Rikit was so depressed that he flied away from Mokono's home but then he, with his Owl-like X-ray visions, noticed two people bound and gagged in a truck of two criminals that were never caught by any of the Gods, Kozo and Isao. After Rikit told the Angels of their whereabouts, the Angels found them and sent them to Heaven jail for 25 years when Kozo and Isao failed to escape due to Rikit deflating all of the tires of their trucks. Rikit was hailed a hero and Mokono was so happy that, as a birthday gift for Jacaro, he sent Rikit to him to help Jacaro and give him a bright future.

Jacaro
Rikit and Jacaro are always the bestest of friends ever since hewas sent by Mokono sent him to Jacaro to take care of him and make sure he has a bright future.

While Rikit can be very nice to Jacaro, he can be very rude to him whenever Jacaro misuses an object Rikit grants him or when Jacaro wishes for physical harm on someone he hates.

Kana
Kana and Rikit have both been best friends since Kana introduced herself and Mikit after Rikit's accident with his original ears.

Even though Rikit considers Kana his best friend, Kana is often implied to have a secret crush on him, despite Rikit only like her as a best friend since he is in love with Ceecee.
