おじゃる丸

Ojarumaru is a Japanese manga series created by Rin Inumaru, which was adapted into an anime television series broadcast on NHK Educational TV starting in 1998. The series centers on Ojarumaru Sakanoue, a 5-year-old Heian-era prince who time-warps to modern Japan and has various adventures there. The story revolves around his friendship with a modern boy named Kazuma Tamura, and the antics of the Oni Child Trio who are trying to reclaim a scepter that Ojarumaru stole from Great King Enma. The anime combines comedy, fantasy, and slice-of-life elements with humorous portrayals of traditional Japanese culture and modern society, and includes parodies of classic tales, fables, and pop culture. Ojarumaru is popular among audiences of all ages due to its lighthearted humor and unique characters. It's the second longest-running anime on NHK, just behind Nintama Rantaro.
