Triton of the Sea (海のトリトン Umi no Toriton) is a manga series created by Osamu Tezuka, and an anime directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino based on the manga. This series, which had 27 episodes, aired from April 1, 1972 to September 30, 1972.
5000 years ago, the Triton Family was living peacefully in Atlantis until the Poseidon Family destroyed them all out of jealousy for their successes. The race of merman was annihilated leaving Triton, the last survivor of his kind. Ruka took the orphaned Triton to Japan in order to protect him from his enemies.
Triton was taken in as a baby by the human boy, Kazuya (矢崎和也). But Poseidon set off a huge tsunami that destroyed Kazuya's village and killed Kazuya's father. Kazuya, his mother and Triton then moved to Tokyo. However, Kazuya was cheated off his salary and in his anger committed murder. He becomes a fugitive and works on a ship that, unbeknown to Kazuya, delivers goods to Poseidon's base.
