料理竞技的开山作《中华小当家》,为什么当时是由日本人创作?

我想很多观众都有过这样的想法,当年在电视上看这动画,如果不是因为OP和ED是日语的之外,如果不仔细看,不光是故事背景,连名字都是国人名字(除主角一行外是统一旗下品牌),完完全全可以认为这是国产动画,当时能够了解的途径就是通过电视,很多人也没法上网查看资料,也有不少人误以为这是国产动画,不然就是中日共同制作的。

《中华小当家》的原名是《中华一番》,作者小川悦司本身很喜欢中华文化,并且喜欢吃中华料理,后来查阅了大量有关中华料理的书籍才开始创作《中华一番》的漫画,可以说创作这漫画很大程度是因为作者的喜好,并且该漫画还是料理竞技的开山作。
漫画连载的时间是在1995-1999年,当时国内的动漫题材还是以神话故事和儿童故事为主,很难能创作出这种题材的动画,虽然在后来国内也出现过料理为题材的动画,但很难与《中华一番》相比,无论是故事还是画工,都有很大差距。

所以,《中华一番》这种中华文化的题材被日本漫画家创作,也是无可厚非的事,总不能因为国内创作不了,就不允许别人去创作,事实证明,这个漫画连载后非常受欢迎,改编成动画再不少观众心里,都是非常经典的童年动画。

更重要的一点则是,当时的日本创作者不再局限日本文化题材的挖掘,而是会结合日本外的元素和内容进行创作,当然,这样的创作也需要大量的涉及文化知识和用心创作,所以日本能先创作出这样的作品一点也不奇怪。到了如今,中华传统文化和神话题材相关的漫画、动画也逐渐多了起来,也是意识到了自己不去挖掘和创作,也是一种浪费。
