History Manga / OsomatsuKun

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Iyami and Chibita over time, to the point where the 1988 series and the second half of the manga is centered around their actions and adventures rather than the brothers.

* ThemeTuneCameo: On occasion, some of the characters will sing their specific part of the "Osomatsu-kun Ondo" while they're walking down the street. Iyami will sometimes sing the opening of the 1988 series as well.

* PaperThinDisguise: Iyami and Chibita had ahabit of putting on these when they start up their shady business deals.

As the years went on, this quirky little story about the Matsunos and their colleagues became sort of a cultural icon in Japan, and remains one of Akatsuka's most beloved works alongside ''Akko-chan'' and ''Tensai Bakabon''. The series proceeded to have two anime made for it; one by Studio Zero in the 60s, and one done by Creator/StudioPierrot in the 1980s that focused instead on the adventures of the wildly popular Iyami and Chibita, while the brothers [[DemotedToExtra took on a more secondary role.]] It also spawned a post-series one shot manga called "Osomatsu-kun Grows Up", which detailed what would happen to the sextuplets once they all [[SheIsAllGrownUp became adults and moved into the working world.]] However, ''that'' idea [[Anime/OsomatsuSan wouldn't be focused on again for another 27 years]] after the 80s anime, as a MilestoneCelebration for Akatsuka's (post-mortem) 80th birthday.
