In the life of kindergartener Shinnosuke "Shin-chan" Nohara, there is no such thing as an ordinary day. The five-year-old is a cut above the most bothersome, perverse, and shameless child imaginable. Shin-chan is nearly constantly involved in dubious behaviors, such as forgetting about a buddy when playing hide and seek, sumo wrestling for love, performing different pranks in public, including the infamous "elephant," and flirting with college females. The legendary troublemaker has done it all and has no intention of stopping anytime soon. Crayon Shin-chan chronicles Shin-everyday chan's hijinks with his gang of buddies, who parade around as the self-proclaimed "Kasukabe Defense Force." The adults who see these shenanigans can't help but admire Shin-chan, as he entertains them while accidentally addressing their problems.
