Ninja Hattori-kun (忍者ハットリくん?), known as Ninja Hattori in some countries, is a manga series created by Fujiko Fujio, later adapted into a television drama, an anime series, a video game and a live-action movie. It was remade as a 2013 anime series as a joint venture between India and Japan and is currently airing in several Asian countries.
11-year-old Kenichi Mitsuba is an average kid who goes to secondary school and struggles with his studies, he is very stubborn and is very lazy and therefore always ends up frustrating his parents and teacher. He loves to find an easy way of things much the annoyance of Hattori.
Meanwhile, a little ninja named Hattori Kanzo befriends Kenichi. Hattori is now a part of the Mitsuba family along with his brother Shinzo, and his ninja dog, Shishi-Maru. Hattori helps Ken'ichi with his problems, and constantly keeps an eye on him, as a good friend. Yumeko is portrayed as Ken'ichi's love interest.
The main antagonist Kemumaki, a Koga Ninja and his ninja cat Kagechiyo. Kemumaki always troubles Kenichi. Kenichi asks Hattori to take revenge as a recurring storyline in many episodes. Although Hattori is a good friend, Kenichi sometimes fights with Hattori due to misunderstandings created by Kemumaki. Sometimes Jippou, Togejirou and Tsubame helps him.
A.k.a. Hattori-kun, is the protagonist of the series, a little ninja. In the Indian (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and English) versions, Hattori is his first name and his last name (along with Shinzu's) changes between episodes, an inconsistency. He is 11 years old and 40 kg and is 140 centimeters tall. He is the boy who usually contests Kemumaki when he performs mischief. Hattori's main weakness is that he is afraid of frogs and lizards; this often leads him into trouble and becoming helpless around a frog environment. He wears blue coloured ninja robes, with a red belt. He always explains what a good ninja does and what others should also do. His powers can be compared to a master ninja. He also has a strange habit of saying ~degozaru or nin nin after almost every sentence. His girlfriend seems to be Tsubame.
