Keshikasu-kun wants to become the best of the stationery supplies, outdoing other characters such as the blackboard eraser (kokuban-keshi) and the correction fluid (shūseieki).[1]

Beginning in 2008 Keshikasu-kun appeared in the television program Oha Coliseum (おはコロシアム).[1] Keshikasu-kun received the Shogakukan Manga Award in the children's category in 2008.[2]

The January 2010 issue of Monthly Coro Coro Comic, released on December 15, 2009, revealed that an anime adaptation, classified by Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions as a television program, had been approved.[1]
