Candy Candy (キャンディ・キャンディ, Kyandi Kyandi) is a Japanese series created by Japanese writer Keiko Nagita under the pen name Kyoko Mizuki.[1][2] The main character, Candice "Candy" White Ardley, is a blonde girl with freckles, large emerald green eyes and long hair, worn in pigtails with bows. Candy Candy first appeared as a manga in April 1975, written by Mizuki and illustrated by manga artist Yumiko Igarashi, a collaboration which was put together by the Japanese magazine Nakayoshi who were interested in recreating a "masterpiece" manga in the same vein as Heidi, Anne of Green Gables and other famous classic titles of literature read predominantly by young girls. The manga series ran for four years,[1] and won the 1st Kodansha Manga Award for shōjo in 1977.[3] The story was adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation.[1] There are also three animated short films.
