Adventures of the Little Koala (known in Japan as Koala Boy Kockey

(コアラボーイコッキィ, Koara BŠi Kokki)) is an anime

television series produced by Tohokushinsha Film Corporation. It aired

originally in Japan on TV Tokyo from October 4, 1984, through March

28, 1985, and then aired in the United States on Nickelodeon (later

moved into the Nick Jr. block upon its launch at the start of 1988)

dubbed in English from June 1, 1987, until April 2, 1993. The

storyline revolved around Roobear Koala (voiced in English by former

child actor Steven Bednarski, now an award-winning medievalist and

historian at the University of Waterloo) and his friends and their

utopian village in a fictional version of New South Wales, Australia,

known in the Japanese version as Yukari Village, within the shadow of

a real rock formation known as the Breadknife.Production of the

English and French versions of the series was done by the Canadian

studio Cinar Films.It also aired in Greece, Italy, France, the United

Kingdom, in the Arabic-speaking world and other countries, but its

biggest success by far was in the United States on

Nickelodeon.Adventures of the Little Koala was made as Japan was in

the midst of a koala frenzy along with another koala themed anime

titled 㠵㠗㠎㠪コアラ ブリンキー (The Wondrous Koala

Blinky), which would later be broadcast alongside Little Koala on

Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block in 1988, as Noozles. According to The

Anime Encyclopedia by Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy, Japan's

koala frenzy was sparked by the Tama Zoo in western Tokyo receiving

their first koala as the Australian government sent six koalas to

Japan as a token of goodwill, but in actuality, the Tama Zoo as well

as other zoos in Japan got their koalas because Japan was craving

them, and Little Koala and Noozles had already been airing when the

koalas arrived in October 1984.
