nihongo|"The Sun's Soldier Poka Poka"|太陽の戦士ポカポカ|Taiyō no Senshi Poka Poka is a shōnen manga by Kōji Kumeta. The manga began its serialization in Shonen Sunday from 1996 vol. 39 and ended a year later in 1997 vol. 39. The series was Kumeta's attempt to create a Jump-like action-comedy series, though it ultimately failed to find a significant audience. By the time the 31st chapter was published, there was talk of an anime adaptation, but nothing developed.
