It showed kids how to use scissors and adhesive tape. The protagonists were , played by Ei Takami, and the anthropomorphic gopher, , played by Jun Imura. ''Dekirukana'' was broadcast during the 1980s and 1990s with great success in many state-run networks in Latin America, to whom NHK donated the programme, along with other educational shows. In these countries the name of the show was translated as ''¿Puedo hacerlo yo?'' ("Can I do it?"), but it is informally known as ''Nopo y Gonta'', after the main characters.
