@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.

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.

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!!!
