The main character Pucca is the young ward of three Chinese noodle house owners. The Noodle House is located in Sooga Village, a small village in the mountains. Pucca is in love with the ninja, "Garu" (IPA pronunciation: [geɪ ɹu] gaa-roo). However, he desperately tries to avoid Pucca's advances, and (usually) does not return her affection. While Garu is a skilled ninja, Pucca always seems to best him in combat and unintentional competition, simply by sheer wit.

The Canadian-produced animated series by Studio B Productions can be seen in the United States on Toon Disney's Jetix line-up on Monday and Friday nights. The Pucca series website is [1]

In the series, Pucca and Garu are the only human characters who very rarely speak (It is stated that Garu has taken a vow of silence). Instead, they communicate with giggles, grunts, and other various sounds (much like the online Flash cartoons). However, there are occasional instances in which Pucca can be heard to say one to three syllable phrases, and it is said by Ching that she is a good singer. This was shown in an episode where Pucca sang an opera song in a karaoke club.

Many Pucca episodes feature recurring themes. Some episodes take place in Alternate Reality versions of Soogaville (for example, space stations or jungles), with alternate versions of the characters. Episode names are frequently plays-on-words: Puccahontas (Pocahontas), Romancing the Clone (Romancing the Stone), etc.
