Battanko and Gittanko

Battanko was a Lemures used by Tiger's Eye while targeting Minako Aino for her Dream Mirror.

Trivia

• Battanko's name is a reference to a Japanese phrase which describes the motion of a seesaw. This phrase can be written as either "ぎったんばっこん" (gittan bakkon) or "ぎっこんばったん" (gikkon battan). Whether or not this Lemures was supposed to be properly "Battanko" or "Bakkonko" is unclear, as the episode credits and the Sailor Moon SuperS Memorial both had different spellings. The DVDs released by Cloverway wrote her name as "Bakkonko."
