Ojarumaru (おじゃる丸)[c] is a Japanese anime series created by Rin Inumaru, produced by NHK Enterprises, and animated by Gallop.[5] The series has aired on NHK Educational TV since October 1998, making it the second longest-running anime on NHK behind Nintama Rantaro, and the third longest-running anime series to date. The series focuses on a 5-year-old Heian-era prince named Ojarumaru Sakanoue who accidentally time-warps to modern Japan and has adventures there while dodging a trio of young oni who try to get back a scepter that he stole from Great King Enma. The series has been dubbed in many languages.[6] It was the first NHK anime series to be animated using the digital ink-and-paint process instead of cel animation.[7]
It received an "Excellence Award" for animation at the 1999 Japan Media Arts Festival.[8]
