Yamato Takeru (Japanese: ヤマトタケル) is a 1994 Japanese anime television series loosely related to the legendary hero of the same name, an unrelated 1959 live-action film The Three Treasures, the 1963 anime film The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon and an unrelated 1994 live-action film Orochi, the Eight-Headed Dragon. The series revolves around a young Ismo boy Yamato Takeru who goes on a great adventure that would grant him great powers and the understanding that his destiny is linked to the world.
The series is followed up by the 1995 two-episode original video animation Yamato Takeru: After War.
