Mirai Keisatsu Urashiman (未来警察ウラシマン, "Future Policeman Urashiman") is a Japanese manga series written by Hirohisa Soda, illustrated by Noboru Akashi and Haruka Inui and published by Akita Shoten in Weekly Shonen Champion. It was adapted into an anime television series produced by Tatsunoko Production that ran from January 9 to December 24, 1983, on Fuji TV. It was later released in Germany and Sweden as Rock 'n Cop, in Finland as Rocki-kyttä (Rocki-Cop), in France as Super Durand (roughly, "Super Jones" or "Super Smith"), and in Italy as Ryo, un ragazzo contro un impero ("Ryo, a boy against an empire").

Saban Entertainment dubbed it under the title Rock 'n Cop, but this dub was never released in the United States.[2] The Saban version was however used as the base for the Latin American, German, Italian, Swedish and Finnish versions. A film version was in the works but also abandoned.[3] The anime is licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks.
