Patlabor (a portmanteau of "patrol" and "labor"), also known as Mobile Police Patlabor (Japanese: æ©Ÿå‹•è¦å¯Ÿãƒ‘トレイãƒãƒ¼, Hepburn: KidÅ Keisatsu PatoreibÄ), is an anime and manga franchise created by Headgear, a group consisting of director Mamoru Oshii, writer Kazunori ItÅ, mecha designer Yutaka Izubuchi, character designer Akemi Takada, and manga artist Masami YÅ«ki.
The popular franchise includes a manga, a TV series, two OVA series, three feature-length movies, two light novel series, and a short film compilation, named Minipato (ミニパト) because of its super deformed drawing style. The series has been adapted into video games and licensed products from OST to toys. Patlabor is known for using mecha – designed by Yutaka Izubuchi – not just for police or military purposes, but also for industrial and municipal jobs.
Animations from Patlabor were used extensively in the music video "Juke Joint Jezebel" by KMFDM. The manga received the 36th Shogakukan Manga Award for shÅnen in 1991.
