Now Viewing: obake_no_q-tarouTag type: Copyright Obake no Q-tarō (オバケのQ(キュー)太郎 Obake no Kyū-tarō), by Fujio_Fujiko, is a Japanese manga about an obake, Qtarō (Sometimes also spelled as Q-tarō) who lives with the Ōhara family. Qtarō, also known as Q-chan or Oba-Q, is a mischief-maker who likes to fly around scaring people and stealing food, though he is deathly afraid of dogs. The story is formulaic, usually focussed on the antics of Qtarō and his friends. The manga was drawn in 1964–1966 by Fujiko Fujio (Fujiko F. Fujio and Fujiko Fujio A) and in 1971–1974 by Fujiko F. Fujio. There are three anime series of Qtaro. The first anime adaptation of Obake no Qtarō was shown on the Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) in black & white, and ran from 1965–1968. Machiko Soga was the voice of Qtarō. The series was especially popular amongst younger children, preceding Doraemon. It also ran outside Japan, in Hong Kong under the name Q-tailong. The second series ran from 1971–1972 on Nihon TV, this time in color. Episodes in this series have two segments each per episode. The third series ran from 1985–1987 on TV Asahi. This series is the only one of the three Obake no Q-taro anime to have a home video release.
