Obake no Qtarō (オバケのQ(キュー)太郎 Obake no Kyūtarō?), by Fujiko Fujio, is a Japanese manga about a ghost, Qtarō (Sometimes also spelled as Q-tarō) who lived with the Ohara family. Qtarō, also known as Q-chan or Oba-Q, was a mischief-maker who liked to fly around scaring people and stealing food. However, he himself was deathly afraid of dogs.
The stories are formulaic, usually focussed on the antics of Qtarō and his friend/rival Doronpa.
The manga was drawn in 1964-1966 by Fujiko Fujio (Fujiko F. Fujio and Fujiko Fujio A) and in 1971-1974 by Fujiko F. Fujio.
There are three anime series of Qtaro. The first anime adaptation of Obake no Qtarō was shown on the Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) and ran from 1965-1968. Machiko Soga was the voice of Qtarō. The series was especially popular amongst younger children, preceding Doraemon. It also ran outside Japan, in Hong Kong under the name Q-tailong. The second series ran from 1971-1972 on Nihon TV, and the third series ran from 1985-1987 on TV Asahi.
