Super Doll★Licca-chan (スーパードール★リカちゃん Sūpā Dōru Rika-chan?) is TV anime series which ran on TV Tokyo from 1998—1999. Kodansha also serialized a manga based on the anime series in its monthly manga magazine Nakayoshi. The story follows an ordinary elementary school girl named Rika Kayama (香山リカ Kayama Rika) and the strange circumstances surrounding her origins, as well as the origins of her protector, Doll Licca.
The series is an original story spin-off inspired by the long-selling and popular Takara doll series "Licca-chan" (created by Miyako Maki, wife of Leiji Matsumoto), designed to expand the regular dress-up doll series into a line of action figures. However, the series was only a mild success, and ended soon after it began.
