Spritle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spritle (Kurio Mifune, 三船くりお Mifune Kurio) is a fictional child character in the Japanese anime cartoon Mach Go Go Go; the cartoon is known in English as Speed Racer after the title character, a teenage race car driver. Spritle is Speed's younger brother.

Spritle constantly got into mischief, along with his pet chimpanzee Chim-Chim (Senpei), and the two frequently hid together in the trunk of Speed's race car, the Mach 5. Spritle once built a replica of the Mach 5, with two of the gadgets — self-deploying jacks and special tires — normally found on his big brother's car. Spritle & Chim Chim often got into arguments over candy, one of their favorite snacks, and villains in the show could usually use candy to bribe them into revealing information about Speed and the Mach 5.
