    Kappa no Kaikata (カッパの飼い方, lit.'How to Breed Kappa') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yūgo Ishikawa. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump from 2003 to 2001, with its chapters collected in 15 tankōbon volumes. An anime television series adaptation, consisting of 26 episodes of three minutes each, produced by NAS and animated by Picture Magic [ja], was broadcast on Animax from 2004 to 2005.

    Story[edit]

    A young man named Watashi (, lit. "I" or "Me"), upon passing by a pet shop on his way home, happens upon a water Kappa in the window, which he buys, names Kaatan (かぁたん), and is determined to raise as a pet. Never having owned a kappa before, he relies on a book that specializes in information on how to raise and train kappa. However, Kaatan is harder to train than it immediately seems, and a lot of patience is exerted by Watashi in his effort.
