Korean animation
During the 1970s and 1980s, the South Korean government implemented a ban on Japanese media, including newspapers, magazines, movies, television programs and manga. It was within this period that Korean animation was in its infancy. Many examples of early Korean animation incorporated unauthorized uses of Japanese anime characters and likenesses. For example, "Space Black Knight" featured characters that looked exactly like Amuro Ray, Char Aznable, Sayla Mass and Dozle Zabi of "Mobile Suit Gundam". In "Space Gundam V", the protagonist mecha was an unlicensed version of the VF-1J Valkyrie from "The Super Dimension Fortress Macross".
