Jungle Emperor" is a TV animation based on Osamu Tezuka's manga. The first work was broadcast in 1965 as Japan's first full-length color TV animation. The following year, in 1966, a sequel, "New Jungle Emperor: Go Leo! was broadcast in 1966. In 2009, "JUNGLE TAITEI -Courage will change the future-" was broadcast on TV with director Goro Taniguchi, screenplay by Osamu Suzuki, and character design by Yoshitaka Amano.

The music for "Jungle Emperor" was composed by Isao Tomita, a world-renowned synthesizer artist and composer who passed away in May 2016.
