Do you know the Japanese cartoon 「クレヨンしんちゃん」 (“Crayon Shin-chan“)?
It was created in 1990 (the year I came to Japan) by 臼井義人 (Yoshito Usui).
It’s about a mischievous kindergarten-age boy named Shinnosuke, nicknamed “Shin-chan”.
Shin-chan and his family and friends live in 埼玉県春日部 (Kasukabe, Saitama, Japan) near Tokyo…which is where 臼井義人 (Yoshito Usui) lives.
Some of the characters in the show are Shin-chan and his friends and classmates in his kindergarten, including the bossy Nene-chan who likes to force the boys to “play house” with her, and the principal of the kindergarten who looks and acts like he used to be a mobster in the Japanese mafia, as well as Shin-chan‘s mother, father, younger sister and their dog.
I found out that 「クレヨンしんちゃん」 (“Crayon Shin-chan“) is shown around the world in many countries, including America…but that it’s usually edited alot due to Shin-chan‘s habit of playfully exposing himself and speaking impolitely.
I heard that many countries even edit out the fact that Shinnosuke often flirts with pretty young women and that his father likes to drink beer.
After all that editing, I wonder what’s left of the cartoon? 😉
I watched the show on TV last night. Did you see it?
It was about the adventure Shin-chan and his father had when they went grocery shopping together and couldn’t find the key to the father’s bicycle when they were ready to go home.
It was pretty funny.
Well, the creator of the 「クレヨンしんちゃん」 (“Crayon Shin-chan“) cartoon, 臼井義人 (Yoshito Usui), told his family that he was going hiking in the mountains in Gunma Prefecture last weekend.
He has been missing since then.
The police have been searching for him since last Monday.
He’s been missing for nearly a week now…but hopefully they can find him safe.

I’m watching the TV news right now.
They said that a body has been spotted at the bottom of a steep cliff where Mr. Usui went hiking…they’re preparing to retrieve it.
It’s suspected to be Yoshito Usui’s body.
It’s not clear yet whether they suspect he jumped or fell off the cliff.
So, it looks like he’s died.

That’s terrible!
Sadly, [adult swim] stopped showing it here, as they only signed on for 2 seasons, and showed it at pretty crappy times. The entire underage flirting, beer drinking, and inappropriate dialogue was intact, though.
If anything, most of the stuff that was changed were puns and cultural jokes that wouldn’t translate well. And if anything, they made some stuff DIRTIER, like changing Action Kamen’s name to Action Bastard. It fit quite well, and they managed to say bastard at least 10 times an episode.

I would like to see an episode of “Crayon Shin-chan” in English…I wonder what it’s like.
The show has alot of particulars of Japanese life…it must be difficult to translate.
