Jungle Kurobe (ジャングル黒べえ, Janguru Kurobē) is a manga series written and illustrated by Fujiko F. Fujio (credited as Fujiko Fujio), which was serialized between February and November 1973. It tells the adventures of a Tarzanesque child and his friends in modern Tokyo. It consists of 31 episodes and was originally broadcast on TV Asahi. The show is most famous for having initial character designs by famous anime director Hayao Miyazaki of Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro, though due to Fujiko F Fujio's involvement, the final designs were done by Yoshio Kabashima, known for his work on Gamba no Bouken and Lupin the 3rd: The Mystery of Mamo. In 1989, its manga and anime were pulled from circulation after a chapter from Obake no Q-Tarō was deemed "racially offensive for its portrayal of Africans" and essentially became banned in Japan. However, the series was reprinted as part of the Complete Works of Fujiko F. Fujio collection in 2010 and TMS released the show in 2015 on DVD alongside Umeboshi Denka, with a reprint being issued in 2024.
