About Hakushon Daimao

Hakushon Daimao (The Genie Family) is an old-time Japanese TV anime that initially aired from 1969 to 1970. Kan, the child of the family, discovers an old bottle which contains the father-daughter genie duo.

On sneezing, Hakushon appears granting the wish of the person who sneezed. On yawning, Akubi appears to grant the wish of the person who yawned. Having the wish granted is always a gamble as Hakushon messes up the wishes due to his clumsiness.
