Began in 1997. Its potential popularity in the West was butchered by one of the worst dubs and censorships ever witnessed, thus Naruto became popular instead in the West. Since then it's just gotten insanely popular in Japan, it's light hearted adventuring that knows when to change to a serious tone. Arguably has surpassed the likes of DB in terms of Shounen popularity in Japan. Unfortunately though it has been plagued with nothing but terrible videogames. Its recent DS games are probably its best along with this game.
