Crayon Shin-chan

Five-year-old Shinnosuke Nohara has a remarkable talent for making sure an ordinary day never stays ordinary. He lives in Kasukabe with his parents Misae and Hiroshi and his baby sister Himawari, splitting his time between kindergarten and adventures with the friends who call themselves the Kasukabe Defense Force.

A simple errand, family outing, or classroom activity can collapse into chaos through Shin-chan's shameless honesty, strange imagination, and ability to misunderstand adults in exactly the worst way. His parents and teachers spend much of their lives trying to contain him, yet Shin-chan somehow ends up solving problems almost as often as he causes them, usually in a way that makes everyone wish he had chosen a quieter solution.
