Ashibe Ashiya

Ashiya Ashibe is the protagonist of Shounen Ashibe: Go! Go! Goma-chan. A cheery and optimistic 6-year-old boy, he gains a pet baby seal, Goma-chan, in the first chapter and is accompanied by it henceforth. Though some other boys (such as Sakata and his Big Bro) are jealous of Ashibe, he is capable of stopping them via the Brotherly Love Hold, a fighting move (taught by his friend Sugao from the last town) that defeats people by making them feel happy.

Trivia

 * In the first episode of the anime, Ashibe frequently makes peace hand signs at others, accompanied by loudly yelling "Peace!", whenever he meets them or feels cheerful. This is toned down significantly in the manga's counterpart of said episode.
