Mr. Time is a living clock that is part of Senbei Norimaki's invention, the Time Slipper. He uses a board to travel through time and says "T-t-t-time Slip!" whenever he, and whoever else are touching the board, need to travel to a different time period. Later in the manga, it is revealed that any smooth surface can be used, so Mr. Time uses Peasuke Soramame's head as a time travel surface. Also, Mr. time can stop time by saying "T-t-t-Time Stop!"
