Tora san

[kinjo]

This is a question on the eternal Japanese movie, otoko wa tsurai yo.

1. Could someone give me a link of the movie details with the description of each character? (for eg., sakura (chieko baisho) is tora-san's sister.)

2. There are 48 episodes spanning 27 years, right? one on every new year's day (that makes it 27) and others on?

3. Theres a certain phrase Tora-san frequently says about kekkon. something which goes like 'kekkon kedaraka........', an alliteration.

Could you let me know what it is?
