Space Pirate Mito (宇宙海賊ミトの大冒険 Uchū Kaizoku Mito no Daibōken), also known as Stellar Buster Mito in Japanese,[1] is an anime series from 1999. It was produced in two seasons at 13 episodes each. Directed by Takashi Watanabe, the series was animated by Triangle Staff. Furthermore, there was a theatrical production of the series, during the year 2000.[2]
The first series of the farcical sci-fi title mainly revolves around the small space pirate Mito and her fights with and flights from the galactic police force, as well as her relationship with her half-human Earthling son Aoi, initially largely ignorant of his mother's spacefaring life.[3] The first series ends with Aoi, having become a girl due to a biological quirk of Mito's species, crowned queen of the galaxy as a result of Mito's campaigns, and the second (titled Mito's Great Adventure: The Two Queens (宇宙海賊ミトの大冒険 2人の女王様 Mito no Daibōken: Futari no Joō-sama)) focuses on her and the pirates, now court soldiers, facing the challenges that come with her new office.[4] Both series have been released on DVD in the United States.
Characters
Mito Mitsukuni (ミト / 光国美都 Mitsukuni Mito)
Voiced by: Tomoko Kawakami (Japanese); Lisa Ortiz (English)[5]
Mito is the main protagonist of the series. She is an intergalactic pirate alien that comes to Earth so that she can be with her half-human son. Although she looks like a human child, she is in-fact an adult of her species.
Aoi Mitsukuni (光国葵 Mitsukuni Aoi)
Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi (teen), Yuko Sasamoto (child) (Japanese); Brian Morey (eps. 1-10), Sam Riegel (eps. 11-13) (English)
Aoi is Mito's 15-year-old son. His life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers his mothers secret. Unlike his mother who is more bold, he is much more reserved. By the end of the first season, because of a certain quirk of his mothers species, he becomes a woman.
Mutsuki Nenga (年賀睦月 Nenga Mutsuki)
Voiced by: Tomoko Ishimura (Japanese); Veronica Taylor (English)
A young female member of the Galactic patrol and Masatsuki's older sister. She is fully busy trying to get hold of the space pirate Mito and her minions. Her mission is complicated by often forgetting to take her medicine against fungus that grows on her scalp.
Masatsuki Nenga (年賀正月 Nenga Masatsuki)
Voiced by: Yumiko Kobayashi (Japanese); Michelle Newman (English)
He is the younger brother of Mutsuki and participates in her interplanetary hunt for criminals. Masatsuki is constantly overestimating his ability to capture the Mito and her pirates. He seeks to capture them to regain the honor of his and Mutsuki's father, who was also part of the galactic patrol.
Ranban
Voiced by: Rumi Kasahara (Japanese); Lisa Ortiz (English)
The main antagonist of the first season and the ruler of the galactic empire. He resembles Darth Vader.
Mito Kōmon references
A couple of "internal" jokes poke fun at the famous Japanese TV series Mito Kōmon. In episode two Mito, introduces Sabu and Shin with their complete names, Sukesaburō and Kakunoshin. These also happen to be the names of Mitsukuni's two devote followers (abbreviated as Suke-san – 助さん – and Kaku-san – 格さん – in the TV-series).
