In 1989 when I was in 6th grade, I sat next to a Japanese kid who was constantly drawing cute anime/manga figures and animals. He even taught me how to draw them. I believe there were humans, animals and even mushrooms. I have no idea if this was from a manga or an anime series or from both. I also don't know if these characters where from any U.S. versions or if they were strictly in Japan. I believe he had only been in the U.S. a short time. All I do know is that the characters and any associated storyline existed at least in 1989 and possibly earlier. I researched Dragonball since it existed at that time, but I'm not sure if this was what I'm talking about. I remember the characters being more cartoonish and Nintendo looking than the ones in Dragonball but I guess I could be wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions about what cartoon characters I could be referencing? Thanks for any help!
