Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) – Portrait of Eikichi the Dog – Production Cel & Douga (Pierrot, 1999)

A striking production cel with matching douga featuring Eikichi, the Uchiyamada family’s memorable canine companion, shown here in a clean side portrait full of character.

Originally named DiCaprio, he was soon renamed after refusing to respond to his first name. Loyal yet mischievous, Eikichi plays a silent but impactful role throughout Great Teacher Onizuka, with a larger presence in GTO: Shonan 14 Days, where he accompanies Hiroshi Uchiyamada on a wild journey to find Onizuka in Shonan. His stubborn loyalty and comic timing make him a beloved part of the story.

Produced by Studio Pierrot in 1999, under the direction of Noriyuki Abe, and designed by Yoshiyuki Suga, this cel perfectly captures the irreverent charm of GTO.

A standout collector’s piece for fans of late ‘90s anime and rare animation art.
