4kids was an anime dubbing company that made anime more child friendly.
It made shows like Pokemon, Yugioh popular to the western world.
In the anime community, 4kids has been looked down upon because of the heavy a amount of editing and americanisation. For example, when they dubbed one piece. But people seemed to forget they made anime known in the western world.
The company no longer exists as it became bankrupt.

a very crappy american anime dubbing company that destroyed just about every anime that i loved. thank god Viz got to Naruto first.
4kids must be stopped before they ruin every profane, crude, violent, and sex fill anime by making them appropriote for ages 10 and below!
viz might have taken out some nose bleeds and blood sores on naruto, but at least they can actaully mention death on the show.

4Kids, formely known as 4Kids Entertainment is an american TV channel. From this day, they keep destroying good animes which were originally japanese, such as Shaman King, One Piece and Sonic X.
4Kids destroy these animes by censoring anything related to "adult" stuff such as cigars, alcohol, guns etc.
Now let me give you some examples of ridiculous 4Kids editing:
In the anime Sonic X, any scene showing someone who is crying, being sad or anything related to that is cut out. Yes, you heard it right, completely cut out. Sonic X contains minor swearing, like "shit", "bastard" and "damn it" (damn it is actually considered swearing according to 4Kids lol). These are completely edited out and replaced with "ugh" or some shit like that.
Their voice redubs just makes me want to cry, Amy's voice is just terrible, she sounds like some slutty teeny bopper slapping down 100$ for a pair of shitty pants at Abercrombie & Fitch.
They COMPLETELY destroyed the latest (the 3rd) season of Sonic X, "The Metarex Saga" which was meant to be sad and dramatic and filled with action, i really feel sorry for all american Sonic fans which has to watch such misery.
Talking about Shaman King and One Piece, there just isn't a word to explain how INCREDIBLY TERRIBLE 4Kids has edited these animes, it's so badly edited that i can't even explain it on here, google or YouTube these animes and you'll find a 4Kids version, compare it to the original japanese version.

Some childhood-ruining dicks who are absolutely obsessed with removing all quality from anime, under the cover of "dubbing it". This includes replacing soundtracks with the same generic 8-year old screeching about friendship or whatever...
4Kids are responsible for completely ruining Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, etc. and therefore my entire childhood.
Note: Anime isn't even for kids. It is for sane people who care about storylines and stuff and NOT HENTAI AT ALL IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER AND IF ANYONE TELLS YOU THAT THEN THEY'RE LYING and not Jonouchi and Kaiba doing things with sexual connotations. Hopefully 4Kids never get their hands on Death Note *shiver*

Jeff: Man, Bob you're such a dick
Bob: Not as big a dick as 4Kids
Jeff: That is such a good point Bob. Now do you want to go stab the CEO of 4Kids together
Bob: Sure but make sure he dies slowly lol
Jeff: Of course. We should avoid vital spots so he bleeds to death
Bob: Maybe we should write his name in the Death Note.
Judge: I find you guilty of murder. You are sentenced to death
Tim: But aren't 4Kids more worthy of execution?
Judge: Well yes...

Rulers of the world.
4Kids gets their fanfics animated! I wish I ruled the world like they do, because I certainly deserve it more than they do!

A dubbing company that makes anime and other cartoons more appropriate for children. Many people dislike 4kids and say they "ruin" cartoons, forgetting that it's often children who watch cartoons, not adults.
4kids has altered many cartoons, such as Pokemon, Winx Club and Yu-Gi-Oh, making them more suitable for cartoon-loving children. Unknown to most people, many cartoons made in America are aimed at 7+ children anyway, which explains the editing of 4kids.
4kids removed or edited scenes that involved things like religion (a very serious topic), violence, guns or other weapons and anything inappropriate for kids. They also gave the characters voices that were better suited for their personalities and made the plots of the shows more interesting to keep viewers awake.

4kids is one of the most unappreciated companies in the USA because people would prefer everything on TV to have violence and murder in it and want nothing to be made for children.
