Samurai Kid
Shōnen Ninja Kaze no Fujimaru, also known as Samurai Kid, is a Japanese anime series produced by Toei Animation. 65 episodes aired from 7 June 1964 until 31 August 1965. It tells the story of a ninja’s pupil that controlled the wind.
It was inspired by the manga ‘Kaze no Ishimaru’ by Sanpei Shirato and was animated by Yasuji Mori and Hayao Miyazaki. The anime was renamed “Kaze no Fujimaru” in order to associate it with its sponsor, Fujisawa Pharmaceuticals.
The opening theme, ‘Shōnen Ninja Kaze no Fujimaru’ and the closing theme, ‘Tatakau Shōnen Ninja’, were both performed by the Nishirokugo Boy’s Choir. The series originally ended with a repeat of the opening; the separate ending song came later.

Set in the fictional town of Bay City, the show in its early years opens with announcer Bill Wolff intoning its epigram, “We do not live in this world alone, but in a thousand other worlds,” which Phillips said represented the difference between “the world of events we live in, and the world of feelings and dreams that we strive for.” Another World focused less on the conventional drama of domestic life as seen in other soap operas, and more on exotic melodrama between families of different classes and philosophies.
