China Man Makes Life-Size Replica Of Shinchan's House For ₹3.5 Crore; Dreams To Build Entire Kasukabe Town

A 21-year-old from Zhejiang, Jiang took over his family's sheep farm and spent over a year securing exclusive Crayon Shin-chan licensing rights in China, making five trips to Shanghai for the process.

Shinchan, a cherished anime character, has captivated audiences with its movies and TV series, Crayon Shin-chan for 32 years with its family-oriented comedy. A dedicated fan even spent $400,000 (3.5 crore INR) to recreate Shinnosuke Nohara's iconic red and white brick home for living.

If you have been a true follower, you would remember Shinnosuke Nohara's house – the one with the red and white brick, Jiang decided to make an exact replica of the building in his family farm.

The house construction commenced in July 2024. It necessitated specially designed materials, which increased the project's cost further. Jiang's mother provided him with financial assistance to help realize this dream. The almost completed house covers about 100 square meters and is set to become a photography destination for enthusiasts and cosplayers.

Jiang's ambitions extend beyond this home. He aims to replicate Futaba Kindergarten from the anime and transform it into a learning facility. His greatest aspiration is to construct the whole Kasukabe Town from Shin-chan and establish a real-life area where fans can immerse themselves in the Shin-chan universe like never before.

Jiang also bought an old car and remodeled it to look like the green vehicle in the anime.

The Crayon Shin-chan series, developed by Yoshito Usui, first appeared as a comic in 1990. It rapidly turned into a beloved choice among fans thanks to its distinctive humor and relatable characters. After Yoshito Usui passed away in 2009, his team carried on the series under the name Yoshito Usui & UY Studio, keeping Shin-chan's legacy thriving.
