The long-running Japanese manga series Kochikame Osamu Akimoto spawned an anime series debuting almost 20 years following the first serialized manga chapter from 1976. The anime series of Kochikame ran from May 1996 up to March 2004 through the FujiTV television network in Japan.
The anime episodes are largely based on storyliness of numerous manga chapters previously published, with occasional differences in plot and character design, plus the inclusion of 'special' episodes and anime-original storylines made exclusively for the anime series.
