ゲゲゲの鬼太郎
"Kitarō of the Graveyard" was published as a rental manga in 1960, but it was considered too scary for children. In 1965, renamed to "Hakaba no Kitarō", it appeared in "Shōnen Magazine" (after one of the editors came across the kashibon and offered Mizuki a contract) and ran through 1970. The series was renamed "GeGeGe no Kitarō" in 1967 and continued on "Weekly Shōnen Sunday" (1971), "Shōnen Action", "Shukan Jitsuwa" and many other magazines.
