Oruchuban Ebichu (おるちゅばんエビちゅ) is a Japanese manga series by Risa Itō that was published by Futabasha Publishers. It first ran through Shufutoseikatsusha magazine Giga&chan beginning in the 1990s, before moving to the Action Pizazz publication by Futabasha.
It was later adapted into an anime television series produced by Gainax, but animated by Group TAC. It first aired six eight-minute episodes in 1999 as one-third of the show Modern Love's Silliness. Oruchuban Ebichu is very adult in nature, and its comedy, explicit violence, innuendos, and sexual intercourse scenes could only be shown on DirecTV Japan. The uncut version of the series can only be found on DVD. The show is drawn in a simplistic art style.
A sequel series called Oruchuban Ebichu Chu~ started serialization in the magazine Manga Action in 2018. It concluded on October 4, 2022.
