Reborn!, also known as Katekyō Hitman Reborn!, is an anime television series directed by Kenichi Imaizumi and produced and animated by Artland. It first began airing on TV Tokyo in Japan on October 7, 2006, and has since broadcast over 200 episodes, which are each referred to as a "Target". The anime series is an adaptation of Akira Amano's manga series of the same name, which was first serialized in Japan's Weekly Shōnen Jump in 2004. The series centers around the life of Tsunayoshi "Tsuna" Sawada, a timid boy who learns he is the great-great-great grandson of the founder of the Italian Vongola Mafia family. Tsuna, who is the only living heir, must learn to become a proper Mafia boss and is required to undergo training from the Vongola's number one hitman, an infant named Reborn.
As of June 26, 2009, a total of twenty-eight DVD volumes have been released in Japan by Marvelous Entertainment, with another four scheduled to have consecutive monthly releases. The DVDs have secondary volume titles: the first eight volumes are "Bullets" which contains the first thirty-three episodes; the next eight are "Battles", and contains episodes 34 to 65; volumes seventeen and eighteen are "Daily Chapters", containing episodes 66 to 73; volumes nineteen to twenty-five are "Burn" volumes, and contains episodes 75 to 101; and twenty-sixth onwards are referred to as "X.Burn" volumes.
In 2008, Funimation, on behalf of Japan's d-rights production company, exercised a power of attorney to remove fansubbed episodes of the Reborn! anime from the internet. Thus, to prevent copyright infringement, cease and desist notices were sent to fansub groups who were subtitling the series. On March 21, 2009, d-rights collaborated with the anime-streaming website Crunchyroll in order to begin streaming subbed episodes of the Japanese-dubbed series in North America. New episodes were available within an hour after the airing in Japan.
On April 19, 2017, the first Blu-ray box set released with episodes 1 to 73 including 2 CDs. The second box set includes episodes 74 to 141 along with 1 CD, and the third box set includes episodes 142 to 203 and 2 CDs. The Blu-ray box sets were released celebrating the series' 10th anniversary.
Remow licensed the series in English and started streaming it on its It's Anime YouTube channel in May 2025. Muse Communication licensed the series in Southeast Asia and streamed it on its Muse Asia YouTube channel.
