Salaryman Kintarō(サラリーマン金太郎,Sararīman Kintarō) is a manga series by Hiroshi Motomiya. It has been serialized in Weekly Young Jump since 1994, but has gone through many periods of inactivity.
The manga follows Kintarō Yajima, a former Bōsōzoku leader who, as a promise to his late wife, has become a salaryman. In 2005, Kintarō went from working as a salaryman to working for a foreign bank.
In 2005, Salaryman Kintaro began appearing as an online comic and eventually returned to Young Jump.
While the manga is not available in print in English, all 30 volumes and part of the sequel had been translated into English, and were available through the Comic Friends Facebook app. However, Comic Friends recently announced it will no longer be doing business in America.
