User Summary Crayon Shin-chan (クレヨンしんちゃん Kureyon Shinchan) is a manga and anime series written by Yoshito Usui. The series follows the antics of a five year-old boy and his father and mother. Much of the humor in the series stems from Shin-chan's occasionally unnatural and inappropriate use of language, as well as from his inappropriate behavior. Much of this humor is untranslatable for non-Japanese speaking readers and viewers. Nohara Shinnosuke aka Shin-Chan (野原しんのすけ) is the main character, a kindergarten-aged boy whose antics are the basis for the series. He has to jump 'n run through 4 worlds and beat the bosses.
