J.J. & Jeff, known as Kato-chan & Ken-chan (カトちゃん&ケンちゃん) in Japan, is a side-scrolling action game developed by Hudson Soft for the PC Engine and TurboGrafx-16.

In its original form, Kato-chan & Ken-chan was based on the Japanese television show Kato-chan Ken-chan Gokigen TV, with hosts Ken Shimura and Cha Kato assuming the role of playable characters. The game was censored for its North American release due to licensing and the toilet humor.

Gameplay

J.J. & Jeff's gameplay is very similar to that of the Adventure Island series, but instead of having to need to get a weapon to attack enemies, the characters can kick them.
