Synopsis:

In a world where the wild and modern collide, Ta-chan navigates a unique existence. Raised by a chimpanzee in the African savanna after being abandoned, he now dedicates himself to protecting vulnerable animals from poachers. Alongside his loyal disciple Pedro and the skilled martial artist Ryo, Ta-chan confronts those who threaten the natural world. His life is further complicated by Jane, a former New York model who has adapted to this unconventional lifestyle.

Initially presented with comedic elements inspired by classic adventure stories, the series gradually delves into more serious themes of conservation and environmental responsibility. The narrative balances action and humor as Ta-chan and his companions strive to maintain balance between humanity and nature, exploring the challenges of preserving wildlife in an increasingly complex world. The anime offers a blend of heartfelt moments and engaging action sequences.
