21 Emon (Japanese: 21エモン, Hepburn: Nijūichi Emon) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Fujiko F. Fujio published from 1968 to 1969 in the Shogakukan magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday. Set in the same universe as Doraemon, and predating that work by only one year, the manga was then made in a TV anime series by the animation studio Shin-Ei Animation in 1991. From the manga also two animated films were made: 21 Emon: Uchū e Irasshai! and 21 Emon: Uchū Ike! Hadashi no Princess. The official English name is 21 Emon: The 21st Century Kid.
