He is an expert sushi maker who travels the world providing sushi for restaurants in extraordinary circumstances. Accompanied by the nameless 'little black dog', he continually thwarts the attempts of his nemesis Derechora (supported by his two henchmen Rik Eedles and Ged Harken) to ruin his sushi using their psychic powers. Kampung receives help from the mysterious 'Col-Linn', a trumpet-shaped ghost, with a deep rivalry of his fellow psychic Derechora.
