Photon: The Idiot Adventures is a Japanese original video animation (OVA) series created by Masaki Kajishima. The series follows Photon, a boy who possesses superhuman strength, but is extremely simple-minded. He engages in heroic adventures of different varieties. He marries a rebel space pilot named Keyne, and becomes involved in fighting an evil wannabe galactic emperor and his "bumbling henchmen". Photon's marriage to Keyne is slightly odd, as Keyne is more mature than Photon. Yet Photon only sees Keyne as more like Aun's sister (who used to be Aun and Photon's guardian, whom he cared for greatly).

The ending song, "Pinch!", is performed by Yui Horie. A manga based on the anime was written by Hiroshi Kanno.
