Kamichu!

is a Japanese anime television series, strongly influenced by Shinto, that follows the adventures of teenage goddess Yurie Hitotsubashi and her friends.

The series was created by Besame Mucho (ベサメムーチョ, Besamemūcho), which is the joint pen name of producer Tomonori Ochikoshi, director Koji Masunari, and writer Hideyuki Kurata.

In July 2008, Geneon Entertainment and Funimation announced an agreement to distribute select titles in North America.

While Geneon still retained the license, Funimation would assume exclusive rights to the manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of select titles.

Yurie is a shy and otherwise ordinary middle school girl who suddenly discovers that, overnight, she has become a kami, a goddess in the Shinto sense.

Her friends give her the nickname Kamichu, a portmanteau of kami (神, "god") and chūgakusei (中学生, "middle school student").
