Nobody's Boy: Remi (家なき子, Ie Naki Ko, lit. Homeless Child) is a Japanese anime series by Tokyo Movie Shinsha. The story is based upon French author Hector Malot's novel Sans Famille in France. The anime is well known in Latin America, Quebec, France, the Netherlands, Italy, the Arab world, Indonesia and the Philippines by the name of Remi.^{[citation needed]}

A movie version by the same studio and director was released in 1980.

The anime was originally shown in the Philippines in between 1979 and 1980. However, like the other contemporary anime broadcast in the same period (Ron-ron, Candy Candy, Heidi, etc.), the full story was not shown. It was only after nearly twenty years that it was shown in full, under the title "Remi" on ABS-CBN, this time in Tagalog.

In 1996, a new adaptation of this story was aired in Japan. Remi, Nobody's Girl (家なき子レミ, Ie Naki Ko Remi) was created by Nippon Animation as part of their famous World Masterpiece Theater series.
