House of Hashimoto

[peskylisa]

My very first memory of television as a child! OMG!!

[shellback1978]

I haven't seen these since i was a kid in the early 60's. Thanks for posting this

[siffil8]

Saw this on KTVU growing up in the late 70s

[latte123]

I remember seeing this here in NZ back in the mid-60s! It was great! "Honourable Japanese house mouse"..... :)

[manedwolf7]

[Kuramalova]

<3 Hashimoto I used to watch the one videotape i have of Hashimoto all the time when I was little! <3

I remember seeing this when I was a toddler in the '60s. It was my introduction to Japanese culture at a time when there was still left-over b.s. cliches from WW2 still kicking around.

@WhiteCamry Actually, the Creator of Hashimoto cartoons, Bob Kuwahara, was himself Japanese American, and went out of his way to make his characters likeable and sympathetic. He was a much more accurate and respectful representative of his ethnicity than, say, Deputy Dawg was of his. In fact, his were probably the very first American cartoons to portray Japanese culture without insulting it.

OMG!!!  I LOVE TEA HOUSE MOUSE!!! Thanks sooooo much for this - I have been searching the internet for years for a glimpse of him!!!

[drbotanus]

Man. They gotta get these out on DVD. This was a sweet show. a very original idea for its time. I remember this episode kinda gave me the creeps though as a kid. Not sure why. Who is doing the voices? Very familiar.

I was watching these in syndication from 1976-78. Over a decade after they first aired. Probably on WDCA Channel 20 in DC or Channel 5 in DC. Maybe on a Baltimore UHF station like WBFF 45. AHHHH, SOOOOO!!!

[SayomiiChan]

Well, I myself am only 19 but I would like to say that I found myself enjoying these cartoons.

[JacksonPerdue]

Wow! I forgot all about this. As a half Japanese boy born in 1957 this resonated as a kid. I vaguely remember a coloring book with Hashimoto

[MajorasFlask]

wow!! last time i seen this was about '82 i was just a toddler then

[rang3r34]

Oh man! I was just beginning to think I imagined this whole cartoon!! Thanks for posting this!!

[sonjajade]

domo arrigato!!!

I have searched for this so long!!!

[andi1655]

OMG ... DITTO!!! I have searched SOOOOOO long to find waht this cartoon was. I remember watching it in a cartoon booth whenever my family ate at our local pizza house.

[injuryman]

Boy does this bring back memories :). Thanks so much for posting!

Amigos, la última vez que vi esta caricatura, fue en 1968, tenía 3 años y la he buscado toda mi vida...apenas había un televisor a color en la ciudad donde crecí, y fue lo primero que vi a color...gracias y que Dios te bendiga por el post...

[diddymuck]

Considering the way Japanese were treated by cartoons only 15 years previous, this is a superb rendition. A bit silly in depicting the culture (they don't say "banzi" to mean "hooray!"), but a great effort.

This 1960 Terrytoon was origally in Cinemascope!

[kes1963]

i havent seen this cartoon in at least 30 years

[sonjamin]

Thank you so much. Miss these old cartoons. Thanks for the post. Any more?

[thefoole]

Thank you! I loved Hashimoto as a kid and haven't seen him since.

[technoforbeer]

かわいいー。楽しいー。

thank you for posting.

Does anybody have some Possible Possum episodes? That was the best thing Terrytoons ever came out with.

[konkordski]

You can see the Yugoslav (Serbian) version of Possible Possum on the links below. This cartoon was frequently shown on Belgrade television in the seventies and eighties. It was translated as "The General's store". Loved it when I was a kid, still love it today. Cheers

[fromthesidelines]

Terrytoons animator Bob Kuwahara created "Hashimoto", but Connie Rasinski directed this one. John Myhers provided nost of the voices here...

[mowm88]

Amazing. I haven't watched those since the seventies easily. WOW. So what DID happen to all the Terrytoons? Same thing as Filmation? just cut up and divvied off and etc once the studio closed? Strange how they just vanished.

[theogore]

It took me two hours to find this. When the clouds revealed the moon, I seriously got the chills, like I did when I was a kid. This was probably what fueled my love affair with Japan. Thanks so much for this, leo81960. Arigato.

[rbastante]

wow I remember it :)

[siffil8]

Thx for posting

I havent seen this cartoon since the 70's

[drbotanus]

God, they have got to release these on DVD. i miss it. Ralph Bakshi worked on this.

[Adventurestud]

This is awesome. What a great childhood flashback. Post more Terrytoons!
