A shitty dubbing company that enjoys turning good anime into piles of crap. The people at 4kids don't care about the fans of the anime that they are dubbing and only care about making more money for themselves. They take anime that has mature content and turn it into a kiddie show. Because of 4kids, the anime One Piece is the most looked downed anime in America. They replaced One Piece's good humor with unfunny and childish puns, removed all blood and death, changed some of the characters' names, changed guns to super soakers, replaced the awesome background music with music that will make you want to puke, replaced the opening with idiotic rap, and took out a bunch of arcs that will later become important to the story.
4kids also ruined Tokyo Mew Mew. They changed the name to Mew Mew Power because, according to 4kids, Japan doesn't exist. All of the characters' names are changed and some scenes are removed. Tokyo Mew Mew is about protecting the environment and love, but 4kids removed the whole "protecting the environment" part and made Mew Mew Power be about an annoying love sick girl.
In every anime that 4kids has touched, they removed all Japanese writing and food and made the setting not in Japan, but in America. According to 4kids, little children will be traumatized for life if they as so much as take one look at Japanese culture. In conclusion, 4kids needs to burn in Hell and let better companies dub anime the right way.

4kids leader: Oh, look! There's a very popular anime in Japan called "One Piece!" Let's get the rights to dub it!
4kids worker: But sir! This anime has blood, violence, a good plot, and Japanese stuff in it! We can't show this to our audience!
4kids leader: Don't worry! We'll just butcher it by removing everything Japanese, giving the characters really bad voice actors, and removing all blood! The kids will never notice the difference! We'll make lots of money because we are greedy bastards!
