5	''Mojacko'' is a 74-episode {{anime}} series based on an original {{Manga}} series created by [[Creator/FujikoFujio Fujiko F. Fujio]]. Directed by Tetsuya Endo, the anime was broadcast on TV Tokyo between October 3, 1995 and March 31, 1997.

7	The story of Mojacko revolves around Amano Sorao, his childhood friend Miki, and various misadventures with their alien friend Mojacko and his Robot Butler Donmo. Later, Mojacko's younger siblings Mojari and Mojaru join the gang, with Mojacko's WorthyOpponent Momonja adding to the hijinks as the story goes further.

9	Helping Mojacko return home, treasure hunts and various other adventures await them in this rather whimsical series.

11	Oddly, while Mojacko came before Doraemon, Doraemon had an anime series and several movies even before Mojacko's first animated episode.

13	----
14	!!This anime/manga contains the following tropes:
15
16	%%* CoolShip: Gonzuke and the probe.
17	* ContinuityCameo: That is to say Mojacko has one in a later work. Mojacko appears briefly in ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheGalaxySuperExpress'' as an anime Gian is watching while aboard the titular express.
18	* {{Expy}}: Contrary to popular belief that Mojacko is Doraemon's expy, Fujiko penned Mojacko ''first'' before Doraemon - also a case of MarthDebutedInSmashBros.
19	%%* HumongousMecha: Gonzuke
20	* ImpossibleTheft: In one episode, a thief moves so fast that he inexplicably stripped of Sorao's clothes (sans his shoes) within ''seconds'', leaving him literally [[MaleFrontalNudity naked]] right in front of [[ChildhoodFriend Miki]] in the middle of the road.
21	* MundaneMadeAwesome:
22	** The first story arc was all meant for the computer on board Mojacko's spaceship to have a color display.
23	** Also epic space potato planting.
24	%%* {{Ninja}}: Momonja.
25	* NoNameGiven: At least in the Filipino dub, Sorao's parents are referred to as "Daddy" and "Mommy", nothing more.
26	%%* OverlyLongName: Mojacko.
27	* PlanetOfHats: The gang usually had trips to one, for example, a planet of thieves, a Vegas-like planet, a planet that resembles cram school, and so on.
28	* PokemonSpeak: Mojaru, predating the Pokemon anime. One of Mojacko's little siblings, it's arguably the only member of the main cast to do so.
29	%%* RealMenWearPink: [[spoiler: The space pirate episode.]]
30	%%* SeriousBusiness: Gonzuke again, this time regarding space potatoes.
31	* ShrinkingViolet: Momonja, to the point where he gets TakenForGranite near his crush.
32	%%* ThePowerOfFriendship
33	%%* TransformingMecha: Gonzuke yet again.
34	%%* WeaksauceWeakness: Water at room temperature.
35	%%* WholesomeCrossdresser:
36	%%** [[spoiler: The space pirate again.]]
37	%%** Donmo also likes to do this every now and then.
