Pucca is an 11 year old girl and is in love with the ninja, Garu. Garu however desperately tries to avoid Pucca's advances, and (usually) does not return her affection. While Garu is a skilled ninja, Pucca always seems to best him in combat and unintentional competition, simply by sheer wit.

Pucca has attained a dedicated cult following in the U.S. after its release on television through Disney.
