Ponkikki,' which began broadcasting on April 2, 1973, through 'Ponkicchis,' 'Ponkicchis 21,' and 'be Ponkiccis.' In addition to the dinosaur child 'Gachapin' and the snowman child 'Mukku,' many characters loved across generations were born, such as 'Connie-chan' who loves rock-paper-scissors in 'Jaka Jaka Janken,' and the alien 'P-chan' from Alphabet Star P Island. The 'Ponkicchis Series' was not just a children's program, but a show that left a lasting impression on many people's memories, significantly influencing Japan's music and cultural scene through its original songs and animations. **About Everyone's Friends Day** In 2025, it was certified by the Japan Anniversary Association and April 2nd was officially established as 'Gachapin & Mukku: Everyone's Friends Day.' The anniversary was named after their catchphrase 'Everyone's Friends,' wishing that April 2nd, Gachapin and Mukku's birthday, would be an occasion to cherish human connections and expand the circle of friendship. This year, for the 2026 'Gachapin & Mukku: Everyone's Friends Day,' friends from the Ponkicchis series such as Connie-chan, P-chan, Gaa and Mu will join, expanding the circle of friends as the 'P-kies family.' **About Gap** Gap is a brand known worldwide as an icon of American casual style.
