PopoloCrois (ポポロクロイス物語, Poporokuroisu Monogatari) is a fantasy media franchise created by Yohsuke Tamori and owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It originated as a manga series in 1977 in the Asahi Student Newspaper (a subsidiary of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper). Its title, pronounced (PO-po-lo-croyce), is a combination of words from two languages: the Italian word "Popolo (people)" and the French "croisé (crossing)", which together mean "crossing of people". The franchise is geared towards a young Japanese audience, with the general theme of the series being love, compassion and racial equality. The franchise consists of a manga series, role-playing video games, two anime series in 1998 and 2003 and a series of novels.
