Anmitsu Hime (あんみつ姫?) is a manga series by Shosuke Kurakane. The original manga was serialized between 1949 and 1955. In 1986, Izumi Takemoto retold the original manga series, releasing it under the same title and simultaneously with the anime adaptation.

Anmitsu is a beautiful princess living happily at the Amakara Castle. The only thing is she is a tomboy and doesn't act very lady-like. When Anmitsu turns ten years old, her parents present her with a tutor named Castella, who from the Pudding Kingdom, in hopes of getting Anmitsu more serious about being a princess. Nonetheless, Anmitsu still is up to her usual antics and frequently escapes from the castle to have fun. However, she learns many things about the world outside the castle and about life in general in her adventures. She also makes new friends and continue to cause trouble for the royalty in Amakara Castle.

The manga was published in Kobunsha's Shōjo magazine from 1949 to 1955. The series helped boost the magazine's circulation to 700,000 copies.

The first adaptations of Anmitsu Hime came in 1954 with two films. Both starred Izumi Yukimura as Anmitsu Hime. Another film was made in 1960, but with an entirely new staff and cast, starring Haruko Wanibuchi as Animtsu Hime.

The first TV drama series was broadcast in 1958-1960, featuring Misao Nakahara as Anmitsu. The second TV drama series was broadcast in 1983-1984, featuring Kyōko Koizumi as Anmitsu. A third TV drama mini-series was broadcast in 2008 and 2009 in the form of two television specials. They feature Mao Inoue as Anmitsu Hime.

An anime adaptation, called Anmitsu Hime: From Amakara Castle was made by Studio Pierrot, aired on Fuji TV from October 1986 to September 1987 for a 51-episode run.

The series is about a tomboy princess in a feudal era themed world, but with modern-day technology. The opening theme is "Koi wa Kuesuchon" by O-Nyanko Club and the ending theme is "Anmitsu Daisakusen" also by O-Nyanko Club.
