"Kobochan" wiil be a brother

From the article, "National four-panel cartoon strip, "Kobachan" He will be a brother because his mother got pregnant in 27th year since its first series"

"Kobochan" is the National four-panel cartoon strip in the Yomiuri Shinbun newspaper from 1982. On Ocotober 14th, the leading character, Kobochan(Kobo Tahata)'s mother(Sanae Tahata) announced that she got pregnant.

Oh no ! Koba-chan's mother got pregnant. I knew his name was Kobo Tahata at this late date.

So, Kobo-chan will have a brother or sister after his mother's pregnancy in 27 th year since its beginning of the series.

On this series, his mother, Sanae, approached his father, Kouji, seriously saying, "sit down there". Kouji was afraid of being scolded that he lay about overtime for hitting a bar or bought a new driver. But Sane said "I got a second child"

Not reading Yomiuri newspaper, I found it very interesting that Kobachan will be a brother. Other national comic "Crayon Shinchan" stretched out topics after the leading character, Shin-chan, had a sister(Himawari). I think so.

I am deeply-interested in his relationship:

Brother or sister ?
What is her/his name?
How does she/she grow up ?
