Shin Chan

Kindergartener Shinnosuke “Shin-chan” Nohara turns everyday life into a steady stream of mischief. At five years old, he’s notorious for shameless behavior and questionable “games,” whether that means ditching a friend mid–hide-and-seek, picking fights through over-the-top sumo challenges, pulling public gags like his infamous “elephant,” or boldly flirting with older girls.

Crayon Shin-chan trails Shin-chan and his friends as they run around under the grand title of the “Kasukabe Defense Force,” leaving a wake of chaos for the adults around them. Somehow, his thoughtless antics often end up nudging people out of their minor problems—while making it very clear that Shin-chan himself is the one challenge no one quite knows how to handle.
