'''Chiyōrō-sama''' is the elder and leader of the [[Sprite|fairies]] of both [[Yōsei no Mori]] and [[Wario's Woods (location)|Peaceful Woods]] that has appeared in two mangas series: in KC Deluxe's ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Super Mario]]'', in both the ''[[Mario & Wario]]'' and ''[[Wario's Woods]]'' arcs, and in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' only in the latter game arc.

He is depicted as a tiny old male fairy with a small beard and bushy eyebrows. While in ''KC Mario'' he has a pointy hat with a pompom, and a walking stick-like wand as well, in ''Super Mario-kun'' he instead has neither of those elements, showing off a singular hair on the head to which a ribbon is tied on. Personality-wise, he is first depicted stern, but also calm and wise in the ''[[Mario & Wario (manga)|Mario & Wario]]'' manga, while he is more irascible in ''[[Super Mario: Wario no Mori]]'', and finally wise and carefree in ''Super Mario-kun''.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' (KC Deluxe)===
====''Mario & Wario''====
In order to escape the freezing [[Kōri no Dōkutsu]], [[Mario]] follows [[Wanda]]'s instructions ends up awakening the [[Blargg]] frozen at the bottom of the basin, causing the beast to release his hot aura. To this, Chiyōrō-sama appears and apprehends Wanda for letting this happen, stating that the world will plummet into a [[Honō no Dōkutsu|scorching Inferno]] until it is going to run dry and then will be destroyed. Luckily, there is a chance to save the situation, by getting the fruit of the [[Yōsei ōkoku|Fairy Kingdom]]'s tree.

After traversing a [[Karakara Sabaku|desert]] while fighting the Blargg's hot aura, the Fairy Kingdom is finally reached, but the [[Alice|queen]] instead offers them salvation in her kingdom, that will soon depart to space before its destruction. Wanda and the elder refuse, claiming that the Earth belongs to both humans and fairies, but their cries are ineffective and the Fairy Kingdom leaves without them but, under its request, leaves the magic tree, to give them a chance to save their planet, which results in a victory against the Blargg.

While going towards [[Wario Tei|Wario's base]], Wanda reveals to have lost her [[Magic Wand]] back at the ice cave, to which the elder first spanks her for having lost her important tool, then gives his as a replacement. He then goes to sleep due to his old age, but first he gives to Mario two robot mice that he can use both as a nunchacku and as guides to navigate through the labyrinth of blocks.

When Wario is finally defeated, Wanda and Chiyōrō-sama go back home after saying goodbye to Mario.

====''Super Mario: Wario no Mori''====
In this story, set in a hypothetical timeline, Chiyōrō-sama is the leader of Peaceful Woods and Wanda is constantly working on a potion that can grow her to a human size, only for her potion to explode in her face, followed by a scolding of Chiyōrō-sama for the damages she makes. When [[Fauster]] is set free by [[Baby Wario|young Wario]], the elder informs this to Wanda and [[Baby Mario|young Mario]] and suggesting making use of Wanda's explosive concoctions to defeat the enemy. He then gives her a talisman with whom seal Fauster back and a [[Kinopio no tetsu kamen|Toad helmet]] so that Mario can trick the enemies into thinking he is a harmless Toad. As Mario and Wanda goes to Fauster's lair, Chiyōrō-sama remains to (pre-emptively) "celebrate their victory". He is then seen watching as the Wario-Fauster fusion enlarges and the celebrates when Mario and Wanda use the talisman to stop the monster, turning it into stone.

In the second part of the story, Chiyōrō-sama grows tired of Wanda's explosions, to the point of banning her from the Fairy Album by ripping her page from it. This results in being a saving grace, as later, when a reincarnated Wario frees Fauster from his prison once again, he corrupts the Fairy [[Diamond]], causing all the fairies to turn into stones, apart from Wanda. When Fauster, later, uses the Diamond to awake the [[Drago]] statue, Chiyōrō-sama and the other petrified fairies, manages to communicate to Mario to take the Diamond back to stop the beast. He then later appears when Peach writes herself in the Fairy Album to give the Diamond more power, leading to Fauster's defeat. Finally, he is last seen monitoring Wario's punishment alongside [[Birdo]].

===''Super Mario-kun''===
Chiyōrō-sama appears only in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 11|volume 11]] and [[Super Mario-kun Volume 13|volume 13]], respectively the start and the finishing part of the ''Wario's Woods'' arc. He is first seen enjoying the Peaceful Woods with Wanda and the other fairies, until Wario arrives, bringing chaos with him. When Chiyōrō-sama tries to stop him, Wario turns him into a floating and talking watering can. He then asks Wanda to go seek help to the Mushroom Kingdom heroes, while a couple of monsters punches him. He is then seen after Fauster fighting, making use of his new form, to drench Mario and calm his burns.

He is then seen during the Drago fight, where he uses his bomb magic to summon a meadow of [[Tsukushinbomu]] from which Mario can grab some bombs, to make up for Wanda being unconscious. In the last chapter of the arc, the elder brings to Mario the [[Seigi no Ono]] to use to cut and defeat [[Wariki]]. When Wario is defeated, the elder returns to his original form.
