About GeGeGe no Kitaro
Shigeru Mizuki’s yokai boy has headlined six anime decades from 1968 to 2018, each a fresh start. Hakaba Kitaro retells the grim original manga, and the 2023 Birth of Kitaro film covers his origin.
Good to know
Each decade stands alone, so start with 2018 or 2007. Add Hakaba for the horror take.
