Jungle Kurobe (ジャングル黒べえ, Janguru Kurobē) is a children's anime series by Fujiko Fujio.
Created by the same team of Doraemon and clearly influenced by it, it tells the adventures of a Tarzanesque child and his friends in modern Tokyo. It consists of 61 episodes and was originally broadcast on TV Asahi.[1][2] The show is most famous for having character designs by famous anime director Hayao Miyazaki of Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro
In 1989, it was deemed "racially offensive for its portrayal of Africans" and its manga and anime were withdrawn from Japanese commercial distribution, essentially becoming banned in Japan.[3]
