It is one of Nagai's most famous works in Japan, although not very well known in the rest of the world. In 2006, it would get a sequel/remake in Demon Prince Enma, which drops the comedy and becomes a full-fledged suspense-horror series. After the OVA was released, another manga version was released called Satanikus Enma Kerberos by Eiji Toriyama. A remake entitled Ghastly Prince Enma Burning Up aired in Japan in 2011.

Enma, Yukiko-Hime and Kapaeru are part of the Yokai-Patrol. They go after yokai that have escaped from Hell into the human world.

• えん魔くん • Masako Nozawa (1973), Kappei Yamaguchi (2011) • The hot-headed, perverted protagonist, sent by his uncle, King Enma, to arrest yokai that have infiltrated the human world, though most often than not he ends up going overboard and killing them instead. He had long eyebrows that can detect a yokai's presence called the Yokai Antenna, wields a magic cape called the Yokai Cloak (also translated as Night Cape), and a magic staff which can transform into a variety of weapons called the Burning Akuma Power Pole. His other powers include teleportation, flight, x-ray vision, reviving himself at the cost of mana, yelling hard enough to produce hurricane force winds, turning into fox fire, lava resistance, can carry a harpoon separate from his regular gear, and enough strength to stop a rhinoceros. Among the Yokai Cloak's powers include turning into a kunai, grapple hook, or mace attached to a chain strong enough to lift cars, wrapping himself in it to form a tornado, turning it into scissors, turning it into a net, forming a bag with it that emits suction, turning it into a whip, forming a Cape Barrier around himself and others by drawing an Enma Circle on the ground, turning into a chain, forming disguises, turning into a circular saw, turning into a spear, and turning into a key. Among the Burning Akuma Power Pole's powers include emitting fire called the Flame Hose, telekinesis including returning to his hands if separated, extending short distances, spinning the cane into a wheel while enflamed in a technique called the Burning Akuma Fire Wheel, turning into a gladius, turning into a trident, being malleable enough to bend if needed, turning into a baseball bat, turning into a giant shovel, and turning into Mazinger Z's Rocket Punch. • Princess Yukiko • Sumi Sakai (1973), Mamiko Noto (2011) • A young Yuki-onna princess who is in love with Enma, but often has to put up with his pervertedness. She has powerful ice powers, though more often than not gets captured in a fanserviceable manner. Her powers include teleportation, wall walking, freezing lasers from the left index finger, freezing breath, transmogrifying objects by blowing on them, forming ice skates around her feet, and a flute that nullifies hypnosis. • Kapaeru • Kaneta Kimotsuki (1973), Takehito Koyasu (2011) • Half kappa, half water sprite. He is the third member of the Yokai Patrol. He doesn't have a lot of attacks, but still provides some help in battle. He's often confused for a frog, which makes him very angry. His name is a portmanteau of 'kappa' and 'kaeru' ("frog" in Japanese). His powers include teleportation, wall walking, body stretching, swimming, frog hopping, toxin resistance, and spraying water from the scalp. • Chapeauji • Junpei Takiguchi (1973), Minoru Inaba (2011) • An "old man" yokai who looks like a hat and guides Enma-kun. His name is a portmanteau of 'chapeau' and 'ouji' ("old man" in Japanese). His only power is levitation. • Tsutomu • Takako Kondo (1973), Rumi Shishido (2011) • A human boy that befriends the Yokai Patrol. He attends the local elementary school, and always gets attacked by demons. He is a side character in the 2011 anime. • Tobacchiri • Akira Shimada (1973), Daiki Nakamura (2011) • Tsutomu's teacher. He's merely a comic relief, and always yelling at Tsutomu-kun. • Chiiko-sensei • Kikuko Inoue (2011) • A human elementary school teacher, wealthy landowner living in a mansion with several maids, and physical education instructor who is a top graduate from a prestigious women's university. In the original manga, her personality is strict and sadistic, heavily featuring sports activities while enjoying punishing her masochistic students. In the 2011 anime adaptation, her personality is significantly tamer, portrayed as a kind, easygoing, reliable, and approachable teacher deeply loved by the school, though she still exhibits wildly daring outfits such as a microscopic pink slingshot bikini during swimming lessons and over-the-top sex education lectures. • In Episode 2, while leading a field trip to an amusement park, she diligently checks on her students in the haunted house to ensure no one is lagging behind and reminds them to meet at the lunch spot. Upon exiting, she is engulfed and possessed by Dokuro's black mist, transforming her normally easygoing nature into an ultra-violent, rage-filled menace. • Darakyura • Takuzou Kamiyama (1973), Hideyuki Umezu (2011) • A homeless deadbeat, Daracura was originally an officer for Great King Enma. After losing his position of officer, Daracura tried throughout the series to kill Enma-kun. However, as the series progressed Daracura became less important. • Harumi • Reiko Katsura (1973), Ayako Kawasumi (2011) • Tsutomu's girlfriend. Her mother has passed on, and lives with her father in an apartment complex. She replaces Tsutomu as one of the main protagonists in the 2011 anime. • Great King Enma • Hidekatsu Shibata (1973), Norio Wakamoto (2011) • The Judge of Hell and Enma's uncle who only appears in episodes 8, 12, 15, 21, and 25. He sends Enma-kun and his friends to arrest demons on Earth. In the last five episodes of the original series he grants the Yokai Patrol his boat called the Dororon (Ghastly) Boat which was capable of super sonic flight and had a bow horn capable of piercing diamond. His powers include dual lightning staffs, energy bolts from the fingers, capture bubbles from the right palm, hurricane force winds from the mouth, and red energy rays from the right index fingers that can revive dead yokai. • 艶靡ちゃん • Rumi Shishido (2011) • Enma's sister; the protagonist of the spin-off manga, Dororon Enbi-chan, and an antagonist in the 2011 anime. She has her own versions of Yukiko-Hime and Kapaeru named Yukiko-Hige and Kapaku.

English Wikipedia details that the core narrative follows the Yokai-Patrol, a specialised group dispatched to human territory to capture demons that have escaped from Hell. The principal protagonist, Enma, is a hot-headed figure sent by his uncle, Great King Enma, to apprehend these fugitive entities. Enma utilises a variety of supernatural tools and abilities, including the Yokai Antenna eyebrows for detection, a multi-functional magic cape known as the Yokai Cloak, and the Burning Akuma Power Pole staff capable of transforming into distinct weapons. The narrative frequently involves Enma exceeding his arrest mandates and destroying the opposing Yokai in battle. The Yokai-Patrol includes Princess Yukiko, a young Yuki-onna possessing freezing abilities who harbours romantic feelings for Enma, and Kapaeru, a hybrid entity who provides combat support despite possessing limited offensive powers. English Wikipedia further records the guidance of Chapeauji, a hat-like elder spirit, alongside human companions such as the schoolboy Tsutomu and his girlfriend Harumi. The patrol encounters a vast array of rogue Yokai antagonists throughout the series, including Shibireyanagi, Magonote, and Tatamigaeshi, each possessing unique supernatural physical attributes. The exact overall episode-by-episode narrative continuity across all regional broadcast markets is not established in the available sources.

According to English Wikipedia, the primary manga text written and illustrated by Go Nagai was serialised in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday between 30 September 1973 and 31 March 1974. Concurrent serialisation occurred across various Shogakukan children's periodicals and Tokuma Shoten's TV Land, featuring contributions from Nagai and several assistant artists. The Weekly Shōnen Sunday chapters were subsequently collected into compiled volume editions on multiple occasions, and digital formats were later distributed via ebookjapan. The publication history expanded through several specialised short stories and derivative works across various publishing houses. English Wikipedia documents the September 1978 publication of Enma Jigoku in Asahi Sonorama's Manga Shōnen, a one-shot depicting aged versions of the central cast that was later included as the concluding chapter in standard volume collections. Subsequent works include Koichi Hagane's Doki Doki! Enma-kun in Coro Coro Comic during 1992, Masaki Segawa's 2010 seinen one-shot Enma vs: Dororon Enma-kun Gaiden in Shueisha's Business Jump, and the adult erotic comedy Dororon Enbi-chan published by Sanwa Publishing between 2000 and 2001. Mature spin-offs were also serialised in Kodansha's Magazine Z and Kadokawa Shoten's Young Ace between 2006 and 2011.
