Domo-kun

Overview

Domo-kun is a cartoon co-produced between Japanese public broadcaster NHK and Nickelodeon, featuring NHK's mascot character, Domo-kun. The animation was tentatively scheduled to air in the United States and Japan in Fall 2007. The initial order for the series is 26 episodes, with each episode being two minutes long.

In the American version of Domo-kun, Nickelodeon deleted the voices of all characters except Domo-kun. Domo-kun's speech remained in Japanese and there was never any intention by Nickelodeon to translate it into English.

The TV series was released on two DVDs on July 29, 2009, individually or as a three-disc box set.

The series has been released in Japan on DVD in Japanese only.
