Jungle Kurobe (ジャングル黒べえ, Janguru Kurobē) is a children's anime series by Fujiko Fujio.

Created by the same team of Doraemon and clearly influenced by it, it tells the adventures of a Tarzanesque child and his friends in modern Tokyo. It consists of 61 episodes and was originally broadcast on TV Asahi.[1][2] 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[3], the final designs were done by Yoshio Kabashima, known for his work on Gamba no Bouken and Lupin the 3rd: The Mystery of Mamo[4].

In 1989, it was deemed "racially offensive for its portrayal of Africans" and its manga and anime were withdrawn from Japanese commercial distribution, essentially becoming banned in Japan.[5] However, TMS finally released the show in 2015 on DVD alongside Umeboshi Denka [jp], with a reprint being issued in 2024.[6]
