This was the last anime produced by Mushi Pro before it went out of business. Hata started working at TMS just as Wansa-kun was beginning in April, and stayed at TMS until around 1976, when his Sanrio period begins with Little Jumbo.

Not having seen this series, I can't comment on Hata's involvement, but the series may be relased on DVD late in 2001, so watch this space.
