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. The show is most famous for having initial character designs by famous anime director Hayao Miyazaki of Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro, though due to Fujiko F Fujio's involvement, the final designs were done by Yoshio Kabashima, known for his work on Gamba no Bouken and Lupin the 3rd: The Mystery of Mamo.
In 1989, it was deemed "racially offensive for its portrayal of Africans" and its manga and anime were withdrawn from Japanese commercial distribution, essentially becoming banned in Japan. However, TMS finally released the show in 2015 on DVD alongside Umeboshi Denka, with a reprint being issued in 2024.
