Dororon Enma-kun (ドロロンえん魔くん Dororon Enma-kun?), also known as Satanikus!, is a Japanese horror-comedy anime and manga series created by Go Nagai. It's one of Nagai's most famous works in Japan, although not very well known in the rest of the world. In 2006, it would get a sequel/remake in Demon Prince Enma, which drops the comedy and becomes a full-fledged suspense-horror series. After the OVA was released, another manga version was released called Satanikus ENMA Kerberos by Eiji Toriyama. A remake entitled Dororon Enma-kun MeeraMera began airing in Japan in April 2011.

Enma, Yukiko-Hime and Kapaeru are part of the Yokai-Patrol. They go after ghosts that have escaped from Hell into the human world.

The original anime was produced by Toei Animation and was originally broadcast on Fuji TV from October 4, 1973 (1973-10-04) to March 28, 1974 (1974-03-28). The opening theme was "Dororon Enma-kun (ドロロンえん魔くん?) and the ending theme was "Be Careful of Ghosts (妖怪にご用心 Yōkai ni go Yōjin?), both performed by Chinatsu Nakayama.

The OVA is licensed in North America by Bandai Entertainment. A remake of the original series, titled Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera (Dororonえん魔くん メ~ラめら?), was produced by Brain's Base and aired on MBS between April 7, 2011 and June 24, 2011.

Tamashii Meramera Icchō °C!?) by Masaaki Endoh and the Moonriders, whilst the ending theme is "Everybody's Exhausted ZZZ" (みんなくたばるサァサァサァ Minna Kutabaru Sasasa?) by The Moonriders feat. Yoko.NIS America licensed the series in North America under the title Ghastly Prince Enma Burning Up and released the series on subtitled DVD and Blu-ray Disc on September 11, 2012.
