Kodomo

Kodomo (or kodomo-muke) is a type of anime and manga made for young children. It is often educational, teaching social skills like sharing and teamwork. Characters in here could have supernatural or mutant powers as they help each other fight evil characters or 'bad guys', or simply complete a mission or task. Doraemon is a famous kodomo manga series that has been popular in Japan since the 1960s. Another example of kodomo anime would be Pokémon, which is a very popular anime for children based on a video game series. Kodomo anime and manga are meant for younger children than shōjo (for preteen and teenage girls) and shōnen (for preteen and teenage boys).
