Devilman (デビルマン Debiruman) is a manga and anime character.

Devilman is Go Nagai's most popular creation. Devilman evolved from a previous manga entitled Mao Dante (Demon Lord Dante) after Toei animation approached Go about turning Dante into a television series. The producers wanted certain elements toned down, and a more human like hero created. Devilman was born as a result of this, Go Nagai worked on the anime's scenario along with Tsujima Saki, a wellknown Anime Scenario writer and highly successful and regarded novelist of several Mystery fictions. Along with the television series, Devilman was also produced as a serialized manga in Shukan Shonen Magazine over 53 issues beginning in 1972, Go Nagai designed the manga to be more horror-like and mature than the anime version. It was later reprinted in a 5 volume series, and has enjoyed over a dozen reprints and in 5 different languages. The manga's extreme violence and excellent story line made it an instant hit. The series was 39 episodes long and ran from July 1972 to March 1973. The series sported some differences from the manga (The character of Ryo Asuka wasn't created until Go started working on the manga after he finished working on the anime), but was still very popular. Both the anime and the manga also vary on the ending while the anime series had a bittersweet open-ended finale, the manga had tragic ending.

Two OVAs (Original Video Animation) were released in 1987 and 1990. These videos were what Go Nagai originally intended the first anime series to be like, since the censors made him tone the series down back in 1972 because of its extreme violence. The videos revolve around Akira's transformation into Devilman up until his battle with Silene (also called Sirene, Siron, Shiranu or Shienru). The OVAs are well animated and, other than a few minor alterations, are faithful to the original manga, and were released in the U.S. during the mid 1990s on video and then on DVD in 2000. Also in 2000, Amon: Apocalypse of Devilman was released as a pay-per-view event in Japan and later released on video and DVD. It covers the period between the humans becoming aware of demons and the final battle between Devilman and Satan. It has even spawned a video game for the PlayStation.
