Photon: The Idiot Adventures is a Japanese OVA series created by Masaki Kajishima. The series follows Photon, a boy that possesses superhuman strength, but is extremely simple-minded. He engages in heroic adventures of different varieties. He marries a rebel space pilot named Keyne, and becomes involved in fighting an evil wannabe galactic emperor and his "bumbling henchmen". Photon's marriage to Keyne is a bit odd, as Keyne is well more matured than Photon. Yet Photon only sees Keyne as more like Aun's sister (who used to be Aun and Photon's guardian - whom he cared for extremely).
The ending song, "Pinch!", is performed by Yui Horie. A manga based on the anime was written by Hiroshi Kanno.
It has been confirmed by the creator of Tenchi Muyo! and Photon: The Idiot Adventures that the two series are related, as the world that Photon lives on is, in fact, the distant past of the planet Geminar before something happened to revert it to a pre-space flight world again, the parallel world that Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari/Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar takes place on.
