Crayon Shin-chan (クレヨンしんちゃん Kureyon Shinchan) is a manga and anime series written by Yoshito Usui. The American version of the manga is titled "Crayon ShinChan", while the UK and Spanish version of the anime is titled Shin Chan. The series follows the antics of a five year-old boy and his father and mother. This story is set in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
Crayon Shin-chan first appeared in a Japanese weekly magazine called Weekly Manga Action (WEEKLY週間アクション), which is published by Futabasha. Crayon Shin-chan began broadcasting on TV Asahi on April 13 1992. Starting April 2006, Crayon Shin-chan celebrates its 15th anniversary. That is done by Shin-chan saying at the beginning of each weekly show, "Crayon Shin-chan, 15th anniversary on TV!" As of June 2006, Shin-chan says, "Even this summer, Crayon Shin-chan, 15th anniversary on TV!"
Much of the humor in the series stems from Shin-chan's occasionally weird, unnatural and inappropriate use of language, as well as from his inappropriate behavior. Much of this humor is untranslatable for non-Japanese speaking readers and viewers. In Japanese, certain set phrases almost always accompany certain actions; many of these phrases have standard responses. A typical gag involves Shin-chan confounding his parents by using the wrong phrase for the occasion. For example, Japanese usually announce that they are back when they have returned home. Shin chan would make the mistake of saying "you are back", instead of "I am back".
