** [[AnimeChineseGirl Renka]] seems to be one for [[Anime/RanmaOneHalf the anime version of Shampoo]], what with having purple hair, a job as a waitress at a restaurant owned by a relative, and a romantic interest in the main character. Her [[AnimalMotifs Cat-like mannerisms]] may be a nod to Shampoo's [[ForcedTransformation curse]] as well.

The series follows Kenichi's adventures as the SortingAlgorithmOfEvil puts him up against more and more dangerous opponents. It has all the elements of Shonen action stories with a healthy dose of satire on the whole thing. The anime adaptation consists of 50 episodes and aired from 2006 to 2007; it was dubbed by Creator/FUNimation, premiering on their channel on October 2009; after their license expired in 2018, Creator/DiscotekMedia picked it up and re-released the series on two Blu-Ray volumes in 2021 and 2022. Kenichi and friends appeared in the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover game, ''VideoGame/SundayVSMagazineShuuketsuChoujouDaikessen''.

In 2012, a series of [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVAs]] began, starting from where the anime ended with Ragnarok Arc closure, and introducing Yami and Yomi. Subtitled ''The Attack of Darkness'', these were not originally released or dubbed by Funimation, but as part of their pickup of the license, Discotek (in partnership with Sound Cadence) would reunite much of Funimation's dub cast to finally bring them over to the States.

*CounterProductiveWarning: A rare hero-on-hero version, PlayedForLaughs: during their first meal together, the Ryozanpaku Dojo Masters notice that Kenichi is very defensive of his food and ask why. Kenichi tells them that he expects them to try to steal his food and he will need to fight them off for the sake of 24/7 martial arts practice like the Sadist Teachers in martial arts films. The Masters then answer that no, they were not going to do that, but now that he told them that it does sound like a good idea...

* ButtMonkey: Koga. You'd feel bad for him if he weren't such a little prick.

* ButtMonkey: Koga. You'd feel bad ** Every resident at Ryozanpaku aside for Kenichi has a number of weird character traits, with Hayato Furinji being easily the weirdest (to the point his teenage granddaughter had to take over Ryozanpaku's finances to keep him if he weren't such from spending everything on Chōjū-giga scrolls. They're also extremely competent martial artists, with Hayato being flat-out referred by everyone (including the villains) as the [[WorldsStrongestMan Invincible Superman]]. [[spoiler:The one fighter who can actually match him turns out to ''also'' be a little prick.weirdo]].

Then you get to the Masters and one chapter characters... there is ''at least'' one example for every taste.

* OverprotectiveDad: Shirahama Genji's a little worried about what exactly Ryōzanpaku Dojo is doing to his son. [[TrainingFromHell The concern is entirely justified]]. His solution?... Not so much.



* WhenIWasYourAge: Kenichi's masters go this route when they want to tell him how little talent he has. * WillTheyOrWontThey: Kenichi and Miu. Even the masters at the Ryōzanpaku constantly eavesdrop on their conversations when the pair are alone in a room to see if a relationship will progress.
** [[spoiler: As of chapter 423, it seems they will. [[OverprotectiveDad Too bad Hayato was there and noticed.]]]]
