is a Japanese erotic horror manga series written and illustrated by Toshio Maeda and a series of original video animation (OVA) anime releases. ''Urotsukidōji'' was created by Toshio Maeda〔 in 1986 and was a huge departure from his earlier works in that it mixed erotica with dark humor and the supernatural. He was commissioned to do the series for ''Manga Erotopia'', a pornographic manga magazine published by Wani Magazine that deals mostly with avant garde stories. Maeda was picked because of his artistic style which paid incredible attention to detail and for his ability to tell rather good stories with complex plots, unlike most erotic manga artists at the time. Although the manga would grow a cult following, it was the anime which became notorious. Hideki Takayama took great artistic liberties with the ''Urotsukidōji'' story, mixing elements of horror, violence, and sadistic scenes of rape not present in the original work. Maeda himself stated in an issue of ''Playboy Japan'' that he found the anime to be repugnant, cruel and sadistic, yet brilliant. He also said he admires Takayama's take on his vision. The anime series is most famous for being the first in the tentacle rape genre, though only one scene in the first OAV actually contains any tentacle rape. Tentacle rape was not present in the ''Urotsukidōji'' manga but was featured in a series that he would publish years later called ''Demon Beast Invasion''. Takayama was incredibly influenced by this work of Maeda's but thought that the ''Urotsukidōji'' story was stronger. In an interview as to why Hideki Takayama chose to tell such a violent and sadistic story he said "There is nothing that arouses a stronger response in human beings than either sex or violence. A mixture of the two is very powerful indeed." Today ''Urotsukidōji'', as well as its later sequels, are infamous, not just in Japan, but in the rest of the world as well. According to ''The Erotic Anime Movie Guide'', it is the most recognized adult anime in the world. It was number 72 in Channel 4's 100 Greatest Cartoons. ==Overview of the manga== Jyaku (the eponymous ''wandering kid'') is a beast/human hybrid who has been banished to Earth for his great misdeeds, mostly involving the Elder and his daughter Mimi. The Elder sends Jyaku to the human world to find the ''Chōjin'': the unbeatable god of the demon world who is hiding within the body of a man. A group of reptilian demons want to find the ''Chōjin'' and use his power on behalf of the Queen of Demons. Under the leadership of Suikakuju, the Elder's rival and lover of his estranged wife, the Queen of Demons, they hatch a series of plots to try to capture the ''Chōjin'', most of which go horribly wrong. Jyaku is sent to protect the ''Chōjin'', but after his lecherous friend Koroko and then later his nymphomaniac sister Megumi come to find him, this proves to be more difficult. 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「Urotsukidōji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
