Plot Summary: Sakon is the grandson of the famous Bunraku master, Tachibana Zaemon. He is incredibly shy and lacks confidence in himself. However, when he is with his puppet, Ukon, he is able to focus himself and his crime-solving abilities. As a contrast to traditional Bunraku puppeteering, Sakon is an expert ventriloquist. He uses his talent of mimicing and throwing voices to confront the villains and often force a confession. Ukon is a beautiful Bunraku puppet created in 1870, supposedly by the Master puppet-builder Unosuke Koizumi III. But Ukon doesn't act as a good Bunraku puppet should. When he is with Sakon, he is forward, obnoxious, flirtatious, coarse, and very egocentric. Together, Sakon and Ukon travel around Japan, solving mysteries, murders, and horrific crimes. In the meantime, Sakon's aunt Kaoruko, a young and pretty police detective, helps him out and keeps an eye on him.

Medabots, frequently misspelled as Metabots, and known in Japan as Medarot (メダロット Medarotto, Medarot?), is an anime series, produced by Bee Train, about battling robots. The manga, later serialized in the shōnen magazine Comic Bom Bom, is written by Rin Horuma (Horumarin). The manga was published in English in North America by Viz Media. The artwork was flipped to the left-to-right reading style. In Singapore it is published in English by Chuang Yi.The video games were produced by Natsume.

The anime series, distributed in the Americas by Canadian company Nelvana Limited, once aired on Fox Kids, where, during its U.S. debut in autumn 2001, it was the highest-rated among its new shows. [1] It was later seen on its spin-off block, Jetix.

Released in the U.S. a few years after Pokémon, it was frequently assumed to be a simple parody of that form of anime, since merchandise for the series was much less extensive and the anime's dub was assumed to be done with a tone of tongue-in-cheek and with a more accurately translated script than how shows of that type were translated for TV during that time. This can be shown by fact that some of the more darker notes in the story, such as the "Ten days of darkness" were kept, and Ikki frequently received injuries during the series' more serious parts. In addition to this, several important characters noticeably retained their original Japanese names or pronunciations (such as Ikki).
