nihongo|"Shutendoji"|手天童子|Shutendōji, also written "Shutendouji" or "Shuten Doji" and also known as "Legend of Shutendoji", is a Japanese manga series created by Go Nagai. An OVA series was released beginning in 1989.

Prototype

Before starting serialization in "Weekly Shonen Magazine", Nagai created a 57-page oneshot in February 1975 titled "Shutendoji" for the Shōjo magazine "Princess", published by "Akita Shoten". While this manga has some similarities, it is a completely different story, as well as being more a Shōjo manga. It would later be renamed as "Jashin Senki" (邪神戦記) or "Princess Han Shutendoji" (プリンセス版手天童子).
