is a Japanese animated television series, consisting of 26 episodes. The plot and characters were created by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, and it was directed by Rintaro and first broadcast on TBS between 3 October 1975 and 26 March 1976.[1] [2] [3] [4] The name was changed to Kum Kum after the sixth episode.
It was adapted as a manga in December 1975, written and illustrated by Takemaru Nagata, and serialized in Kodansha's Terebi Magajin (TV Magazine) under the name "Kum Kum." A four-panel comic strip adaptation of the series also appeared periodically in Mainichi Shimbun in Osaka.
The series explored the adventures of Kum Kum, a naughty boy in primeval times, and his friends as they grow up, often playing antics that surprise the occasional visitor to their village, and which almost always end up with Kum Kum being scolded by his stern father, Paru Paru.
Argentine football player Sergio Agüero's nickname, "Kun", comes from the name of the show.[4]
