Her special skill is fake crying—she can shed tears even when she isn’t sad—and she’s Dokin-chan’s younger-sister figure.

Tan-tan tanuki demontanuki oni (Yamazaki Kōichi)
It’s a character song for a gluttonous yokai that combines a tanuki and an oni.
The singer is Koichi Yamadera, known as the man with a “seven-colored voice.” Even though he’s a villain plotting to eat Omusubiman, his somehow endearing, comedic personality is brought to life through his chameleon-like vocals.
The song was used in the film “Go! Anpanman: Baikinman’s Counterattack,” released in July 1990, and is included on soundtrack albums such as “Go! Anpanman: Baikinman’s Counterattack / Omusubiman.”
