is a pioneering magical girl manga and anime that ran in Japan during the 1960s. The manga was drawn and written by Fujio Akatsuka, and was published in ''Ribon'' from 1962 to 1965. It predates the ''Mahōtsukai Sunny'' (whose name became Sally in the ''Mahōtsukai Sally'' anime) manga, printed in 1966. However, that title is the first magical girl anime as ''Himitsu no Akko-chan'' was not broadcast until 1969. The original anime ran for 94 episodes from 1969 to 1970. It was animated by Toei Animation and broadcast by TV Asahi (then known as NET). It has been remade twice, in 1988 (61 episodes, featuring Mitsuko Horie in the role of Akko-chan and singing the opening and ending themes) and in 1998 (44 episodes). Four movies were produced. "Circus Da Ga Yattekita" in 1969, "Namida no Kaiten Receive" in 1970 and "Himitsu no Akko-chan Movie" and "Umi da! Obake da!! Natsu Matsuri" both were released in 1989. It also adapted into a live action film released in September 1, 2012. ==Basic plot== While each remake has small differences, the basic premise is always the same. Atsuko "Akko-chan" Kagami (known variously as "Stilly," "Caroline," or "Julie" in Western versions of the anime) is an energetic elementary school girl who has an affinity for mirrors. One day, her favorite mirror which was given to Akko by her mother (or in some versions, by her father, as a present from India) is broken, and she prefers to bury it in her yard rather than throw it to the trash can. In her dreams, she is contacted by a spirit (or in some cases the Queen of the Mirror Kingdom) who is touched that the little girl would treat the mirror so respectfully and not simply throw it away. Akko-chan is then given the gift of a magical mirror and taught enchantments, "tekumaku mayakon, tekumaku mayakon" and "lamipus lamipus lu lu lu lu lu," that will allow her to transform into anything she wishes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fujio-pro.co.jp/english/character/index.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Himitsu no Akko-chan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
