Obake no Q-tarō (オバケのQ(キュー)太郎, Obake no Kyū-tarō), by Fujiko Fujio, is a Japanese manga about an obake, Qtarō (Sometimes also spelled as Q-tarō) who lives with the Ōhara family. Qtarō, also known as Q-chan or Oba-Q, is a mischief-maker who likes to fly around scaring people and stealing food, though he is deathly afraid of dogs.
