explanation: Manga adventure created by Shigeru Mizuki, of a boy who was born in a tomb after the death of his mother. He forms a pair with his left eye who is in reality his late father. It shows the complexity and the depth of manga art: you can make manga quite attractive only with good pictures but no serious scenario. Initially, it was published for rental books with the name of "Hakaba no Kitaro", i.e. Kitaro of tomb. When Shonen Magazine took the right to publish in 1966, its name has been changed.
