Time Bokan 24 (タイムボカン24,Taimubokan NijūYon) is a Japanese anime series co-produced by Yomiuri TV and Tatsunoko Production that is a re-imagining of the original Time Bokan series that debuted on October 1,2016,featuring a team of time travelers in search for the "True History" that is not written in the textbooks. The series is part of a joint collaboration between Tatsunoko &Level-5. [3] [4] [5] This series is also legally streamed by Crunchyroll in certain worldwide areas.

[7] [8] In late 2019,an English dub began airing on the Filipino and Southeast Asian Cartoon Network channels. [9] The dub made edits such as making Calen's skirt more opaque and modest. The same edits are also applied to the Korean dub.
Tokio is a junior high student living in the present time who is recruited to be a member of the 24th century's Space-Time Administration Bureau. Together with his partner Calen,their mission is to uncover the "True History",the part of history the textbooks don't tell,but in their way is the Akudama Trio that intends to prevent the True History from being revealed for their own personal gains.
Real Name:Yoshiko (ヨシコ)
