Souta Tawara

Once a Tokyo-based web designer who abandoned his family’s Kagawa noodle shop to pursue a more modern lifestyle, this man returns to his roots to settle his late parents' estate. While cleaning the closed-down udon restaurant, he makes a life-changing discovery: a mysterious small child sleeping inside a massive cooking cauldron. After uncovering the child's profound secret and naming him Poko, he abandons his city career to settle permanently in his hometown.
