"Janguru
Taitei" manga was originally published in monthly comic
magazine "Manga Shonen" in Japan, which was published
by Gakudosha. The manga was later republished in 3 volumes
by Kodansha in 1977.
The manga started in the
November 1950's issue, and ended in April 1954's issue.
The
first "Jungle Emperor Leo" movie (the second
one was released in 1997) was shown in Japan and Italy. In Japan it was distributed
by Toho, and the first showing was on Sunday, 31st
July. In Italy it won a Golden Lion (1st prize) at the 19th Film Festival for youth held in Venice.
"Janguru
Taitei - Susume, Leo!" (Go ahead, Leo!/Onward, Leo!)
anime, sequel to "Jungle Emperor", was shown
in Japan on Fuji Television. The broadcasting started
on 5th October 1966. and ended on 9th
March 1967. It was shown every Wednesday at 7:00 PM, 1
episode per day.
One episode from the series
was shown in theaters in Italy under the title "Leo
il re della giungla".
"Kimba the white lion" anime was aired as "Kimba
el leon blanco" in Spain on TVE for the first time.
Also, it's interesting that "Kimba" was the
first Japanese anime that was ever aired in Spain.
These series were later released on video in Spain in
the 80s (the exact year is not known).
(Many thanks to Mazochungo for this info!)
The
1966

in France on ORTF. The broadcasting started on 20th

as well.

episodes of the 1966
"Kimba the white lion" TV series were aired
under the title "Kimba der weisse Löwe" in
Germany (on ZDF) and in Austria (on ORF 1).
On ZDF it was aired every
Tuesday, from 4th January to 4th October.

7 MCs containing slightly shortened versions of 29 episodes
from the above TV series were released in Germany by Poly

"Kimba
the white lion" anime was aired in Italy under the

in September 1977 (in Rome on "TV Voxson"), and
these italian-dubbed episodes that actually came from the
U.S. (from NBC Films) were aired on several TV stations
to date (excluding the "new" italian Kimba series
from 1999).
During these years there were two opening themes - in the
beginning the show used the U.S. (NBC) opening theme, which
was replaced with the italian opening theme in 1982. The
show had two dubbings - the first one (in which Kimba had
a female voice) ran from 1977 to 1990, and the second one
that featured Kimba with a male voice was introduced in
1983 and it was aired even recently (in 2001). In the 80s
both of these two dubbings were used. (Many thanks to Francesco Piccardo for these infos!)
"Kimba the white
lion" TV series were again shown in Australia on Melbourne

"Kimba
il leone bianco" TV series were aired in Italy, but

A new italian dubbing of "Kimba the white lion" episodes, which starred Franco Latini as Kimba, was aired in Italy for the first time. It's important to mention that this dubbing, instead of having only the wonderful Isao Tomita's music, had just 50% of the background music that was composed by Isao Tomita, while the other 50% was replaced by the instrumental version of the italian opening theme. (Many thanks to Francesco Piccardo for these infos!)

"Kimba
the white lion" was released in Finland on video under
the title "Kimba valkoinen leijona". These episodes
are actually the italian 1979 episodes with finnish subtitles.
Each cassette was 45 minutes long and it contained 2 episodes
(probably). (Many thanks
to Lauri Welling from Finland for this info!)
The opening theme of the
Finnish Kimba episodes, recorded in 1986, is actually the
1977 German opening theme translated into Finnish by Ari
Pauli Meriläinen. It is performed by Hannu Takala,
and it was available only on the "Children TV favorites"
LPs and cassettes, released by a Finnish company called
Sateenkaari in 1987.

was recorded with new french voice actors. The airing started

The above episodes were
later broadcasted on TF1 in 1995 (under the title "Le
Retour du Roi Léo") and on FR3 (France 3) in
1996 as well.
The opening theme was sung
by Claude Lombard, and pictured here is the scan of the
45rpm record with the theme. This song is actually based
on the opening theme of the italian TV series "Sabato
al circo"("Saturdays at the circus") - the
music (by N.Carucci) is the same in both songs, only the
italian lyrics (by A.Valeri Manera) were replaced with the
french lyrics by Charles Level.

Note: Although the
image on the cover of the 45rpm record suggests that the
1989 Kimba series were also aired on "La 5", there
is no further information on this.
Note: Most of the music from the above clip Isao
Tomita, the composer of
the music from the 1965 "Jungle Emperor" series,
later took and rearranged
for the opening sequence of the 1997 "Jungle Emperor
Leo" movie
14 episodes of the "Kimba der weisse Löwe" series that were never shown in 1977 (but which were newly dubbed - including the episode "The Return of Fancy Prancy" that was initially aired in 1977 but which was damaged immediately after that first airing, and so it had to be retaken and redubbed for the "Bou Bou" series), and all 26 episodes of the "Onward, Leo!" series were all together aired in Germany on Pro7 as "Bou Bou - König der Tiere". The name was changed because of the copyright reasons. (Many thanks to Swen Steffens for these explanations!)
In addition to Pro7, "Bou Bou - König der Tiere" was also aired on TV München, but the year is not known.

Kimba is
back on TV in the U.S.! However, these are
the 1993
episodes and not the original episodes from the
60s and 70s.
It is
aired on the i-Life TV (Inspirational Life TV) channel, which
is available on cable TV and which is carried on the
U.S. satellites Galaxy 4R (99.0º W, frequency and
polarization 12140 vertical) as a part of the HITS - Headend in the Sky package, and on Intelsat
Americas 7 (129.0º W, frequency and polarization
4100 vertical) as a art of the OlympuSat
package.
[Check
this
link to see if i-Life TV is available on cable
TV or satellite in your city.]
It is
aired every Saturday at 9:00 AM EST. The first episode was aired
on Thursday, 8th April.UPDATED
Remark:
Both satellites cover the continental U.S., but
the Intelsat Americas 7 satellite can be seen only with
a C-band (8-foot) satellite dish. The Galaxy 4R satellite,
however, is in the Ku-band which might be received with
a smaller antenna (30 inches or such).
1993 Kimba has been
aired on another U.S. TV -
America One Network. It was aired every Saturday at
11:30 AM EST, 1 episode per week. The airing started on
4th July 2004, and ended in January 2009. UPDATED
Although
I've found that America One is carried on the Intelsat
Americas 7 satellite (129.0º W, freq.4060 vertical),
the receipt of America One on satellite is not announced
yet.
Kimba was
aired on the Canal
Sur channel in Spain (and recently it was also
aired on Canal 2 Andalucia channel as well). These were
also the 1993

It was aired
every Saturday and Sunday morning as the part of the
La Banda program for
children (starting at 8:00 AM), and Kimba itself started

And, the
current distributor of Kimba series for TV stations in
Spain is
Iniciativas Visuales Los Barrios.

Kimba
was aired in Japan as well. These were the original
1965
episodes, and they were aired on the Nihon
Eiga Senmon satellite channel. It is carried

(this episode was repeated every Wednesday morning at

2004, and ended on 7th August 2005.
Also,
it is interesting to mention that, along with Kimba,
three other popular animes by Osamu Tezuka were aired
in the same part of day - an episode of "Astro
Boy" and "Princess Knight" was aired
before Kimba, while an episode of "The Amazing
Three" was aired immediately after Kimba.

a day.
UATV had several affiliate stations
across U.S. - perhaps you will be able to use this link to find their nearest affiliate station. It was also carried via satellite on Intelsat Americas 5 (97.0°W, freq.3757 vertical). However, in May 2006 UATV suspended its operations indefinitely.
