Go! Go! Ackman (Japanese: ゴーゴーアックマン^?, Hepburn: Gō Gō Akkuman) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. It was published irregularly in V Jump for 11 chapters from July 1993 to October 1994. Go! Go! Ackman is a humorous series about a demon child named Ackman who harvests souls for the Great Demon King. It was adapted into an animated short film and several video games.

The first chapter begins when Ackman, a short demonic child without a nose, wakes up after a fifty-year nap. Ackman's parents and sisters explain that the family kills people and sells their souls to the Great Demon King. The only major character in this chapter is Godon, a red bat-winged creature that serves Ackman. His main purpose is to gather the souls of people Ackman kills in a jar.

In the third chapter, the introduction to Ackman's main nemesis, Tenshi-kun, a Cherub-like angel. Having thought that Ackman was dead he is shocked to find him out and killing again. Tenshi tries to kill Ackman throughout the rest of the chapter but fails miserably. One example is Tenshi tries to hit Ackman with a missile, but misses and hits a school bus full of school children.

The rest of the series revolves around Ackman killing more people, Tenshi hiring various agents to do his job for him, sexual jokes, etc.
