Company behind ‘Baby Shark’ and ‘Bebefinn’ debuts all-new preschool series, co-produced with Japanese broadcast TBS Television.

The Pinkfong Company, the entertainment company behind Baby Shark, has just launched its all-new animated series Kikipuppup, co-produced with Japanese broadcaster TBS Television. Following the global success of Baby Shark and Bebefinn, Kikipuppup marks the company’s next step in expanding its family entertainment universe with fresh characters, relatable storytelling, and global co-production.

The show, set in a cheerful little town, 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.

In each three-minute episode, Kikipuppup explores “friendship and everyday emotions with a sense of humor and heart.” The series will be available in Japanese, Korean, and English at launch. The English version premieres 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 builds on the successful broadcast debut of Bebefinn on TBS and a series of local family events and collaborations in Japan.
