Production notes

Kappamaki and the Sushi Kids are living in a small and peaceful village surrounded by unspoiled nature: flowers, fields, green forest with a crystal-clear river flowing through it. All the inhabitants, including Kappamaki and his friends, are naive, honest and tenderhearted.

There's a school, a park, houses, business offices and shops, just like an ordinary small village anywhere. A friendly guy says that it's a typical Alpine village with the glamor of Paris and the atmosphere of Venice... Is it really? OK. Let's take a closer look... Oh, my goodness! The village looks as if it's made of sushi tools: the banks of the canals are sushi pails. The buildings are piled-up sushi baskets, etc...

This series of animated shorts is full of humorous mishaps and heart-warming tales giving smiles and chuckles to everybody. They're also educational and entertaining, describing friendship and kindness. So, please enjoy the mind-healing tales in this fantasy land...

This series was planned in order to sell related merchandise.

Designer Okaeri (Eri Okamoto) first modeled the characters for the series in clay.

Alternate title of series: "Kappa Maki and Sushi Kids" and "Kappamaki and the Sushi Kids."
