Before FUNimation Entertainment attempted to market Crayon Shin Chan in the US in 2006 (with their dub lasting at least three seasons), two previous attempts at English adaptations had been in existence.

The first dub, produced through 2001-2002 by Vitello Productions and Lacey Production, was known by fans as "The Vitello dub" and is hard to come by. Shortened to just "Shin Chan" (as the later dubs would be), this version was never aired in the US, but did air in the UK through 2002-2003 on their version of Fox Kids, on Fox 8 Kids in Australia and on RTE in the ROI. The dub was later relegated to only shorts on Jetix, but the show was fully removed from the channel after Jetix rebranded to Disney XD. This dub contained many famous voice actors that had done work in Western animation, such as Grey DeLisle (who had her first voice acting role in it). Although the dub was heavily censored and localized, Shinnosuke's infamous Buri Buri dance was still in the show.

There are only 31 segments that can currently be found in their English dubbed format, but the Dutch version of the dub has at least 164 segments (3 segments of 5 to 7 minutes in one episode of 21 minutes) available. Which means that at least 135 English segments are still lost as the Dutch version was based on the English version. The Italian version of the dub has 159 segments available. Vitello and Lacey's adaptation was used as the basis for various overseas dubs. At Wikipedia a incomplete list of episodes of the dub with English, Italian, Dutch and Japanese titles can be found. A Fox Kids UK press release from 2002 mentions 52 22-minute episodes.

Several episodes of the Vitello dub were released on Region 4 (Australia) DVDs, but they are now all out of print.

In 2004, Phuuz Entertainment gained the license to the series and produced a new English adaptation, featuring a different pool of Los Angeles-based voice actors. None of this dub was ever released on DVD, and it appears even harder to uncover clips of. This dub was pitched to Adult Swim in 2005, but was rejected on basis of it sounding too "childish" for the block. After Phuuz's license expired, FUNimation acquired the rights and their dub was approved.

Name Changes

Both dubs featured many name changes for the characters, although in some cases they used different options than what FUNimation would later use.

  • Shinnosuke's name was shortened to "Shin"
  • Misae became "Mitsy" and Hiroshi became "Harry"
  • Himawari became "Daisy"
  • Toru Kazama became "Cosmo", with his name loosely based off his surname
  • Nene Sakurada became "Nini"
  • Masao Sato became "Max"
  • The principal Bunta Takakura/"Encho-sensei" was renamed "Principal Enzo"
  • The teachers Midori Yoshinaga and Ume Matsuzaka were renamed "Miss Dori" and "Miss Uma", with the names loosely sourced from their Japanese names
  • Action Mask was renamed "The Masked Muchacho"
  • Ai Saotome was renamed "Sally" in Phuuz's dub (which covered later episodes)
  • Masumi Ageo was renamed "Miss Agnes" in Phuuz's dub
