is a manga series by Fujio Akatsuka which ran in ''Shōnen Sunday'' from 1962 to 1969. It has been adapted into two different anime series of the same name, the first in 1966, produced by Studio Zero, and the second in 1988, produced by Pierrot and aired across Japan on Fuji Television, the anime satellite television network, Animax, and the South Korean kids channel, Cartoon Network Korea. A new anime series by Studio Pierrot, ''Osomatsu-san'', began airing in October 2015 to celebrate Akatsuka's 80th birthday. This series helped establish Akatsuka's reputation as a gag comic artist, long before his other popular manga, ''Tensai Bakabon''. ''Osomatsu-kun'' has appeared in numerous special issues of ''Shōnen Sunday''. Akatsuka has also included several manga adaptations of routines from Charlie Chaplin movies in the series. In 1964, Akatsuka won the 10th Shogakukan Manga Award for ''Osomatsu-kun''. == Characters == ;The Sextuplets : The trouble-making main characters of the series.

The six of them get along well, particularly Osomatsu and Choromatsu, but there are many occasions where Osomatsu and Choromatsu (or just Osomatsu) will get in a fight with the rest. In the 1988 anime and halfway through the original manga, their spotlight is stolen by Iyami and Chibita and they are essentially demoted to supporting characters. : The 2015 anime has the sextuplets as adult NEETs who are still living with their parents in a modern day setting. They are now being given more subtle physical differences among themselves and at times wear color-coded clothes to know who is who. Their personalities also differ greatly from their younger counterparts, creating more conflict and tension amongst themselves. ;; ::The oldest and leader of the sextuplets, as well as the best fighter in the group.

His most notable features are his 3 large buckteeth, his thin moustache, and his Beatles-style haircut.

His trademark pose of flexing his arms and legs and shouting became a popular trend all over Japan. He was modeled after Japanese vaudevillian Tony Tani. He is usually single and is unpopular with women. His occupation and role in the series often changes. In his first appearance he was a doctor. He has also been a teacher at Osomatsu's school, a co-worker of Matsuzō's, and even a police detective pursuing Chibita, but he is almost always actually a con artist or beggar. Early on in the 1988 anime he is officially a salesman, but this is eventually discarded and he begins to appear as corrupt doctors and other such things. It is often hinted that not only is he not actually from France, but also that he probably has never even been there. Such hints include trying to eat the shells of escargot and being corrected about French facts by students who have been to France. Iyami has become the character most associated with the series, even more so than the sextuplets (much like Papa in Akatsuka's other hit series ''Tensai Bakabon''). The opening to the 1988 anime series focused more on him than the sextuplets, and the ending credits featured the sextuplets and Dayōn performing his "Sheeeh" pose.

However, he also has a childlike side to him and loves animals and flowers. His parents are never seen or mentioned and he lives with several cats and frogs. There are many times when he appears as Iyami's assistant or subordinate, but he will also often be against Iyami. In his first appearance he was a very obedient child with strict parents, but soon became the bratty character he is now. In the 1988 anime he is portrayed as an edokko. Like Iyami, Chibita eventually stole the spotlight from the sextuplets and has become one of Akatsuka's most widely recognized characters.

In Osomatsu-san, he now owns an oden stand. ; :Father of the sextuplets, usually referred to as . ; :Mother of the sextuplets, usually referred to as . ; :A young boy with a umbrella-shaped hairstyle and a tiny Hinomaru flag on his head.
