Pinkfong Co. Introduces ‘Kikipuppup’ Slaptstick Toon to TBS & YouTube

The Pinkfong Company today unveiled its brand-new animated series Kikipuppup, co-produced with Japan’s leading broadcaster TBS Television. Following the global success of Baby Shark and Bebefinn, the new short-form toon (3 min. episodes) expands the company’s family entertainment universe with fresh characters, relatable storytelling and global co-production.

Synopsis: Set in a cheerful little town, Kikipuppup introduces Kiki, a stylish and confident cat who loves to show off, and Puppo, an energetic and optimistic dog who finds joy in everyday moments. Along with their mischievous rival Vex, a grumpy dog who’s always trying to bother Kiki and Puppo but often finds himself outsmarted by their clever tricks, the series captures the ups and downs of growing up through playful humor, lighthearted quarrels and heartfelt moments of understanding.

The series will be available in Japanese, Korean and English at launch, inviting families around the world to enjoy its friendship-focused, slapstick stories together. The English version will premiere on YouTube on October 31, followed by its broadcast debut on TBS in 2026.

“We’re excited to introduce Kikipuppup as the newest addition to our growing lineup of original animated series,” said Gemma Joo, Chief Business Officer at The Pinkfong Company. “We’ll continue to reach our fans in new and creative ways through original IPs that inspire imagination and joy.”

The launch of Kikipuppup follows the growing partnership between The Pinkfong Company and TBS, established earlier this year. Building on the successful broadcast debut of Bebefinn on TBS and a series of local family events and collaborations in Japan, Kikipuppup represents the next milestone in the two companies’ creative alliance to deliver high-quality family entertainment.
