A new research revealed Naruto anime as the world’s most popular kids TV show in over 83 countries.

According to a comprehensive study conducted by data analysts at TheToyZone, Naruto has secured its place as the most sought-after kids’ TV show in a staggering 83 countries, surpassing all other contenders in popularity.

Naruto‘s global dominance extends across continents. It holds the top spot in North America (10 countries including Canada & Mexico), South America (7 countries including Brazil & Argentina), Europe (22 countries including Germany & France), the Middle East and Central Asia, and even Africa (22 countries).

Notably, Naruto’s home country, Japan, also features the show as the most popular children’s program.
