Samurai Pizza Cats is an American animated television adaptation of
the anime series Kyatto Ninden Teyandee (Cat Ninja Legend Teyandee),
produced by Tatsunoko Productions and Sotsu Agency. The series
originally aired in Japan on TV Tokyo from February 1, 1990 to
February 12, 1991 for a total of 54 episodes. Saban Entertainment
picked up the North American rights to the series in 1991 and produced
a 52-episode English adaption.When Saban licensed the English version,
proper translations of and information about the original Japanese
episodes were either of poor quality or non-existent. It was decided
to write completely original dialogue for the English dub, playing the
show as a wacky, Animaniacs-esque comedy in contrast to the less
farcical original. The English-language version became a cult hit
among anime fans due to its rapid-fire pop-culture references and
farcical nature.[not verified in body]Saban's distribution rights to
the series expired on November 12th, 2000. Discotek Media currently
holds the North American home video license to the series in North
America, while Madman Entertainment holds the license for Australia
and New Zealand.[not verified in body]
