The '''Urusei Yatsura Italian Intro''' is a solved lostwave created for the Italian dub of anime '''Urusei Yatsura'''. The song was identfied as being created by '''Noam Kaniel''', '''Ciro Dammicco''' and '''Shuki Levy'''.

==Origins==
In 1984, the Italian Dub of Uresei Yatsura was broadcast. Instead of using the Japanese Intro, a new song was recorded for the program to promote the show. This would be the intro used for Urusei Yatsura up until 1990. No singers or songwriters were credited for the song or listed under SIAE, where most of the Italian copywrite information for the show was registered. The intro song was likely only created for the TV show, as the outro uses the instrumental of the song, suggesting it was commissioned specifically.

Urusei Yatsura went on the become one of the most popular anime TV shows in Italy, with the first intro becoming semi-iconic. The fact that the version played in the show's opening suddenly fades out, led fans to wonder for decades if a full version of the song existed. 

==KBL Version==
In 2012, a full 3 minute edit of the song wad uploaded to Youtube, revealing that the song had a keyboard solo and additional verses. It was revealed that the Youtuber '''KBL''', who had posted this version, had edited it together themselves.

KBL created the '''KBL Forums''' for discussing cartoons and TV music, where a thread on the Urusei Yatsura theme was created. KBL tried to release their edit of the theme song commercially in the hopes it would be claimed by the creators, but this did not occur. KBL Forum users also began searching SIAE but only turned up covers of the intro.
