Fūma no Kojirō (Japanese: 風魔の小次郎?, lit. "Kojirō of the Fūma") is a manga series by Japanese author Masami Kurumada, later adapted to anime. It tells the story of sword legends and rivalry between ninja clans. The main character Kojirō is a young boy who is a member of the Fūma clan. On June 1, 1989, an OVA was released featuring animation character designs by Michi Himeno and Shingo Araki.
All episodes of the Fuma no Kojiro anime have come out in Japan in VHS and DVD format.
In 2003, Masami Kurumada authored an additional short story titled Fūma no Kojirō: Yagyū Ansatsuchō (風魔の小次郎 - 柳生暗殺帖 Fūma no Kojirō - Yagyū Ansatsuchō?). The story was illustrated by artist Sōtarō Yuri, who imitated Kurumada's drawing style for consistency with the already published volumes of the original manga.
On October 3, 2007, a tokusatsu drama adaptation began airing on Tokyo Metropolitan Television starring Ryouta Murai in the lead role of Kojirō. The opening theme was "Ryūsei Rocket" performed by An Cafe and the ending theme was "Eien no Setsuna" (永遠の刹那?, "Eternal Moment") performed by On/Off.
