Peasuke Soramame (空豆ピースケ Soramame Piisuke) is one of the main supporting characters of the Dr. Slump series. He's Taro Soramame's little brother, and a classmate and close friend of Arale Norimaki and Akane Kimidori as well. In Harmony Gold Dub, his name is Buddy.

Appearance[]

Peasuke is short like Arale Norimaki and maintains being the same height even while he is old. He always wears an animal hat that is always criticized by Taro when he wears it around them because it cramps his style.

Personality[]

Peasuke is an insecure little boy who is very sensitive about his height because he looks like a little kid, even wearing a cat-ear hat that doesn't help either. Most of the time, he gets along with his older brother and usually hangs out with him and his friends like Arale and Akane. Peasuke wishes to be like Taro when he gets older. He's rather timid and wimpy but usually the most reasonable in his group of friends.

In Something's Missing!, Peasuke and Taro end up being seen naked by Senbei Norimaki through See-Thru Glasses and both are confused why Senbei is wearing strange glasses. While Peasuke looks rather healthy, and pure, Taro looks the complete opposite thanks to smoking. His skin is all wrinkly, and cracked, his teeth are yellow, and his lungs are splotched with tobacco and nicotine spots.

Peasuke wonders why Taro looks the way he does, and Taro says it is because of addiction. It is a curse he cannot seem to break free from or handle. From this moment on, he promises Peasuke he won't smoke anymore. Although when Peasuke offers to fix the vent, due to it being jammed, he finds, a bunch of tiny cigarettes that fall out.

Peasuke informs Senbei that Miss Midori is heading towards him before getting hit by her scooter breaking the glasses.

In Which Will It Be?, Peasuke is part of the school's baseball team when Arale is trying out all the school's club.

In 1980: Living For Tomorrow!, Peasuke uses Senbei's Future Camera to take a picture of Akane. When he gets his picture taken, he is disappointed when he finds out that he will still be short in the next 10 years.
