crayon Shin-Chan

Crayon Shin-chan (クレヨンしんちゃん Kureyon Shinchan^?) is a Japanese manga and anime series written by Yoshito Usui. The title is commonly transliterated as either "Crayon Shin Chan" or "Crayon Shin-Chan" and is sold worldwide. The series follows the antics of five-year-old Shinnosuke Nohara and his parents, neighbors, friends, dog and many others. The series is set in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. It is called "Crayon Shin-chan" because "crayon" signifies the fact that Shin-chan goes to kindergarten. "Shin-chan" is the affectionate name for the main character.

He is the main character, a kindergarten-aged boy whose antics are the basis for the series. His affectionate name is Shin-chan. He is 5 years old and loves chocolate biscuits which are referred to in the series as "Chocobi", and an animated superhero named "Action Kamen", who is called "Action Bastard" in the FUNimation dubbing. He is attracted to older girls and women, despite his young age, and says girls his age have no appeal for him. He brazenly pursues any girl who catches his eye. He shares this trait with his father and paternal grandfather, but this often results in Misae's brutal punishment. The only girl he seems to really like (to the point of being shy and blushing around her and trying to behave) is a college student named Nanako. Some of his strange activities include dressing up as animals or plants and taking his pants off anywhere he feels the urge to do a "buri buri" (ass) dance. In general, he is brutally honest, highly curious, and has no shame whatsoever. It would appear that his behavior is rarely in accordance with standard Japanese decorum and social conventions. Ironically, there have been several instances in which Shinnosuke's own crazy antics actually solved the problems of those around him. Whether this is the result of his own or purely accidental is debatable. Adding to that, he also display a surprising amount of talent and ability in various activity which include running, surfing, kendo, skiing and others.
