Koni (whose character is based on the famous Sumo-wrestler) and his gang have lots of crazy and incoherent adventures in their town. From fighting with their "Lovely-Teacher" and dealing with Samurai fish, to confirming if "The Armored-Guy's" wife has an affair and saving the world, Koni, High, Moro, Nari and Afro, the Afro-dog, do the craziest and funniest things to have fun.

__Shinichi Watanabe__ is a Japanese director, episode director and storyboard artist for anime, while also being a voice actor.

Shinichi is best known for his over-the-top adaption of Rikudo Koshi's [Excel Saga](https://anilist.co/anime/379/Heppoko-Jikken-Animation-Excel-Saga), in which he appears as the character Nabeshin. In addition to his appearance in Excel Saga and [Puni Puni Poemy](https://anilist.co/anime/564/Puni-PuniPoemii), his likeness has also appeared as NB in [Tenchi Muyo! GXP](https://anilist.co/anime/1133/Tenchi-Muyo-GXP), Inu-Afro in [Dotto Koni-Chan](https://anilist.co/anime/1684/Dotto-Konichan) and in small role in [Mahoromatic](https://anilist.co/anime/276/Mahoromatic). He also does an unmistakable cameo of Nabeshin, which can be seen in [Nurse Witch Komugi](https://anilist.co/anime/615/Nurse-Witch-Komugichan/), although Shinichi had nothing to do with that project. In addition he made an appearance in the show [EyeShield 21](https://anilist.co/anime/15/Eyeshield-21). More recently he made an appearance in episode 32 of [Hayate no Gotoku](https://anilist.co/anime/2026/Hayate-no-Gotoku).

Shinichi claims that the nickname Nabeshin (which is an obvious combination of "nabe" in Watanabe, and "shin" in Shinichi) came from God himself.
