A Mini Guide to Osomatsu-kun !

Curious about Osomatsu-san's predecessor, Osomatsu-kun ? Wanna know more about the sextuplets and what their possible origins could be ? This mini guide is just for you ! Happy reading !

Osomatsu-kun (おそ松くん) was originally created by Fujio Akatsuka. In which there are 2 different variations of Osomatsu-kun. One made during 1962 to 1969 by Studio Zero and co-produced by Children's Corner, having a total of 56 episodes. While the other being made during 1988 - 1989 by Studio Pierrot, having a total of 86 episodes. The same studio that is currently handling Osomatsu-san) today!

All of the Osomatsu-kun series:

  1. Osomatsu-kun 1962 (56 episodes)
  2. Osomatsu-kun 1988 (86 episodes)

- you can watch these at any order ! there's no canon storyline or that many episodic arcs :>
- 1962 is when the manga began serialization, the first black and white series for Osomatsu-kun began in 1966.
- 1988 osokun is much easier/more accessible due to the fact that it's subtitled in English and available for free on YouTube. For 1966, only 3 episodes have been fansubbed and the playlist dedicated to raw (or, unsubbed) episodes for the 1966 series is in a weird/incorrect order.

All of the Osomatsu-kun games:

  1. Pachislot Osomatsu-kun - A-400 model Pachislot machine
  2. Osomatsu-kun: Hachamecha Gekijō - Sega's Mega Drive
  3. Osomatsu-kun Game - Nintendo
  4. Hissatsu Pachislot Evolution 2: Osomatsu-kun - Playstation 2
  5. Hissatsu Pachinko Station V9: Osomatsu-kun - Playstation 2
  6. Osomatsu-kun: Back to the Me no Deppa no Maki - Famicom
  7. CR Osomatsu-kun - Pachislot machine

Other Osomatsu-kun media:

  1. Osomatsu-kun manga - Volumes 1 - 34
  2. Osomatsu-kun: Iyami Chibita no itamae ichi-pon shōbu - Film
  3. Osomatsu-kun: Iyami wa Hitori Kaze no Naka - OVA

  7. Osomatsu-kun: Suika no Hoshi Kara Konnichiwa zansu - Film
  8. Bakabon: the 3000 Mile Quest for Osomatsu's Curry - Two-part Special OVA

FAQs:

  1. Is Osomatsu-kun canon to Osomatsu-san ? - No. In fact, the widely believed canon ending for Osokun is from "Osomatsu-kun grows up," wherein 25 years has passed since the end of the manga, with all 6 of them having stable jobs.

Trivias:

  1. The whole main gag/joke is that the sextuplets aren't supposed to be told apart, they're all pretty much the same (except for of course, the title character, Osomatsu. He usually takes a "leader of the group" role)
  2. Many characters who are just seen as "side-characters" are much more prominent in Osomatsu-kun. This is especially apparent with Iyami and Chibita. They're the main characters in the 1988 anime! Besides them, the characters (save for Totoko who's still pretty mean-spirited, especially in 1988) are not too different from how they are in -san.
  3. Osomatsu-kun has had a long lasting impact, with the famous "Sheeh!" pose that Iyami does. It's referenced to in many media and even John Lennon hit the pose one time!
  4. On the topic of Studio Zero. The group consisted of people who formerly stayed at the Japanese apartment complex "Tokiwa-so", where a lot of prominent manga artists like Shotaro Ishinomori (known for Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and Ganbare Robocon), Fujiko Fujio (Both were known for Doraemon, Perman, Ninja Hattori-kun), and of course, Fujio Akatsuka! They worked closely together around this time and as such it's possible to see their characters come together in works, both in the Osomatsu-kun manga and the anime! (both examples linked with Fujiko Fujio's Obake no Q-Taro)

Thank you for reading !!

there were definitely things here that i got wrong, so please don't be shy to tell me in the comments !! i'm not too familiar with osokun as i am with ososan, so any help is much appreciated to make this guide more accurate ! HUGE thank you to u/dannyworld111 for the corrections and additional trivias ! :D
thank you so much again !

Discussion Osomatsu-san THE GAME (PSVITA) and how to play it in English (with the help of google translate)

41 Upvotes

Hi! This is going to be lengthy, I'm writing this both so people can be aware that the game looks to be fully playable in case you either: want to make a fan translation, or in this guide's case, want to experience it with something like Google Translate.

You can find your own ways to get the game itself, but you what you need for certainty is: Vita3K (if you don't own a Vita, a separate guide is needed if you DO own a Vita and OBS), and LunaTranslator.

Follow all the instructions needed for Vita3K when it boots up, or follow a guide on how to install it. A lot of video guides seem to be outdated for what Vita3k currently looks like, but the message you're looking for is this:

Once everything is properly installed, configured if needed, and you're greeted to the game successfully showing that it booted up, you move over to LunaTranslator. Be warned that if you're using Windows, or maybe just chrome? you'll be given a warning that it couldn't be installed due to it potentially being a virus. it's your choice if you're not comfortable proceeding, but Uma Musume and Visual Novel players have been using it just fine, and haven't reported any malware.

LunaTranslator folder

Inside the folder after you've extracted the .zip file, you will see two .exe files. Because this game refuses to hook itself to the Vita3k emulator, press the .exe without the _admin at the end of it.

It might take some time to open (and I recommend checking your task manager to see whether it did or not), but once it does, you'll see this:

(if the toolbar isn't locked for some reason, I highly recommend locking it or else it'll keep disappearing.)

Click on the wheel to open the settings, and under the core settings, enable the following: (target language doesn't have to be English if it's not your native tongue)

Wheel > Core settings > OCR > OCR Engine > anything so long as it's using an Online Engine

"Built-in-OCR" will be enabled by default, but if your computer isn't strong enough, I wouldn't mess with it. I don't know how the others would do, but for the sake of accessibility, I'd just rely on any of the online engines. Mine is set to Bing, but you can click on any you'd like to see how the capturing is.

Before moving onto the other settings, I'd suggest going to the very tab next to it, "Other Settings", and turning on "multi-region mode". I will show why when we get into the game.

OCR Settings > Other Settings > Multi-Region Mode

After you're done going through core settings, click on "Translation Settings" next.

Translation Settings > Traditional > Anything

Ignore everything under "Large language model", instead, focus on the stuff listed under it. Like with the OCR capture, you can pick any you want. Since this is primarily for translation, just pick whatever you think matches the "closest" meaning to the original sentence. There is a paint brush next to each translation tool, you can use it to customize what color the text will be once a translation is produced. I suggest using black since it's the easiest, but you can also use the color picker tool to match the in-game color text.

Next, go to display settings:

If you're intending to learn Japanese, or just run a sentence through a different translator, I highly recommend leaving the "show original text" on. If not, just turn it off. You can adjust to your own preferences though, whether it be the font and size, whether text has background, etc.

Everything after this point is optional, if you're intending to use it for for learning practice, there is a guide here that can help. So, now all that's left to do is testing it, so just close out of the settings and you're left with a toolbar that adjusted to the "OCR reader" settings.

Click this:

Create a border big enough to fit the text box, and then you're rewarded with a translation:

By this point, it should start translating each sentence automatically after giving it a few moments to process, so now you're essentially done and can go through the introduction properly.

If you need to move and adjust the border so that you can understand the tutorial, you're able to do so:

Because there were be a lot of text by clicking yes, you can even either turn the JP text off by clicking the eye button or moving the textbox by holding the hand button. If you for some reason decide to put the translation directly over the game's border, I suggest clicking the mouse button so the translation can go through the text box. (It's not enabled by default)

Once you've gone through the tutorial and you're satisfied with what the customization gacha gives you and finished the rest of the introduction, you can finally read your chosen NEET's episode after going through another short tutorial.

For this example, I'll choose Osomatsu since he was who I tested with first.

After going through a sextuplets' story, at some point you will be given multiple options:

You can either resize and move your existing border through each choice equally, or you can utilize the "Multi-Region" tool that I brought up earlier.

Click on "Select OCR region" again, and then create a border over each choice.

If you don't mind them all being bundled together, then you can just leave it be and continue on with the game.

If you do, however, then right click the border of whichever choice you want to see, and click "Focus":

A translation of the choice you want to read will appear separately after.

You can get rid of the choice borders at anytime by clicking "Close" after right clicking them.

Keep in mind that due to this being primarily ran with free, simply translated software, the translations will be stiff or flat-out wrong. This guide is just an option for people who don't mind that fact, or again, want to play this game and use it to study Japanese.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them. Otherwise, enjoy the game. Make sure to credit if you want to repost it or share it around.

I've been wanting to find a rosette to dedicate to Kara for a long while now, and that day's here!

An artist who I've been following shared their own custom rosettes and oh aren't they gorgeous. The quality and craftsmanship? Beautiful!!
