''Don Dracula'' is a comedy horror manga by Creator/OsamuTezuka that began and ended its run in 1979. The series depicts the constant misadventures of Count Dracula, who moves to Tokyo along with his daughter Chocola and his faithful servant Igor. Every night Dracula goes after beautiful young women to suck their blood, but his plans are always undermined for one reason or other. To make things even worse, Dracula has to deal with two undesired stalkers: Professor Helsing, his long-time nemesis, who follows Dracula in Japan and tries to kill him and Chocola whenever he can; and Blonda, an overweight and ugly woman who became obsessed with Dracula as she was the first woman that he bit after his arrival in Japan.

There was also an anime series that was produced in 1982 and was scheduled to feature 26 episodes. Unfortunately, when the company that was sponsoring the anime went bankrupt, the studio was only able to finish 8 episodes. Due to a dispute with producing TV station Creator/TVTokyo, only four of these were aired. (Screenplays had been completed up to episode 21 at the time the series was cancelled.) For unknown reasons, the missing episodes were broadcast in other countries, but remained unavailable in their home land until they were released on DVD.

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Slightly inverted. Dracula and Chocola do pursue humans for blood, but they aren't really malicious vampires and do that more for instinct. This is especically played with Chocola, who is friendlier than her father.
