The Creation Background and Brief Introduction of Crayon Shinchan
Mr. Yoshito Usui said that he created the image of Xiao Xin, because when he observed his children, he found that their ideas were often so unique that the author was attracted by their world. All children have two sides: smart and naughty. This duality is of great interest to the author.
Conversely, the author also embodies this duality in his own works. He also admitted that Xiao Xin was a replica of himself to some extent. According to him, there are many things in Crayon Xiao Xin that reflect his real life. For example, Xiao Xin's father looks a bit like himself. Xiao Xin and his father have thick eyebrows, because the author hates that his eyebrows are too thin.
Xiao Xin is a 5-year-old boy who is attending kindergarten. He is precocious and likes to appreciate and chat up beautiful women. At first, Xiao Xin, his father Guang Zhi and his mother Meiya formed a family of three. Later, another stray dog, Xiaobai, was added. Life is frequent and trivial, but there is no lack of warmth. As the story unfolds, a new member sister, Nohara Kwai, is added.
