Gegege no Kitaro



Ge Ge Ge no Kitarō (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎, Ge Ge Ge no Kitarō) is a comic (manga) series created in 1959 (under the alternative title Hakaba Kitarō (墓場鬼太郎, Hakaba Kitarō)) by Japanese cartoonist Shigeru Mizuki, who was born in Sakaiminato, Tottori. It is best known for its popularization of the folklore creatures known as yōkai, a class of spirit-monster to which all of the main characters belong. It has been adapted for the screen several times, as animation, live-action, and video games.
