Crayon Shin-chan (Japanese: ????????? Hepburn: Kureyon Shin-chan), also known as
Shin Chan, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshito Usui. It
follows the adventures of the five-year-old Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara and his
parents, baby sister, dog, neighbours, and friends and is set in Kasukabe, Saitama
Prefecture of Japan.

Crayon Shin-chan first appeared in 1990 in a Japanese weekly magazine called Weekly
Manga Action, which was published by Futabasha. Due to the death of author Yoshito
Usui, the manga in its original form ended on September 11, 2009. A new manga began
in the summer of 2010 by members of Usui's team,[5] titled New Crayon Shin-chan
(?????????? Shin Kureyon Shin-chan).

An anime adaptation of the series began airing on TV Asahi in 1992 and is still
ongoing on several television networks, worldwide. The show has now been dubbed in
30 languages[6] which aired in 45 countries,[7] has over 970 episodes and 26 full-
length films. More than 100 million copies of the manga have been sold worldwide
