Let’s look back how the story unfolded …. Around 1,000 years ago in the era called ‘Heian” (meaning Pease and Safety), a young prince of a noble family, Prince Mackaroo (Ojaru Maru) is bored of his life… there is just no excitement but study and discipline! He wants to have some fun and adventures. When he goes out for a leisurely walk he is lured by the sound of Ukulele played by Great Demon Lord Enma. Attracted to the Scepter of the Demon Lord, he takes it for play without knowing it has a tremendous power. Prince Mackaroo, then, accidentally falls into the Full-Moon Road (the time-warp tunnel) through which he jumps into the present world. Outraged, The Great Demon Load sends three Scamps (Trio of Demon kids) to get it back from the prince. Upon landing in the present day, Prince Mackaroo befriends Cozmo, a boy 7 years of age and becomes a member of his family thanks to Cozmo’s grandfather, Tommy. While making many new friends and dodging three Scamps efforts to retrieve the Scepter, Prince Mackarpoo (Ojarumaru) has many adventures and encounters new things he's never seen before.
