Living in peaceful Yamabiko Village with his loving family, energetic young kappa Hanakappa possesses a magical saucer head that sprouts different blossoms depending on his fluctuating emotions. While Hanakappa dreams of discovering which permanent flower will define his adulthood, the greedy villainess Garizou and her clumsy henchmen continually plot to snatch his rare Wakafuran flower, believed to bestow eternal youth.
