This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1968 for the first release of GeGeGe no Kitarō.
GeGeGe no Kitarō (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎), originally known as Hakaba Kitarō (墓場鬼太郎, "Kitarō of the Graveyard"), is a Japanese manga series created in 1960 by Shigeru Mizuki. It is best known for its popularization of the folklore creatures known as yōkai, a class of spirit-monster which all of the main characters belong to. This story was an early 20th-century Japanese folk tale performed on kamishibai. It has been adapted for the screen several times, as anime, live action, and video games. The word GeGeGe (ゲゲゲ) in the title is Japanese sound symbolism for a cackling noise.
Selections of the manga and the theatrical live-action films have been published in English as simply Kitaro. The 2018 anime series is streamed with English subtitles as GeGeGe no Kitaro.
