Tora-san Plays Daddy (1987) is the 39th episode in the series where we see Tora (Kiyoshi Atsumi) taking care of a child, the son of a peddler friend, who shows up at Toraya after his father dies. From there Tora takes the boy to Kansai to look for his missing mother who is still alive in the area. While staying at an inn the boy gets sick and Tora becomes acquainted with an inn neighbor, Takako (Kumiko Akiyoshi) who helps nurse the boy from sickness. This pre-credits opening shows Tora as a child of a historical period running off to be his own man after being scolded by his harsh father.
