The Pinkfong Company and TV Asahi Announce First-Ever Collaboration on New 3DCG Short Animation Series 'momomo! Ninimo'

The Pinkfong Company, the global entertainment company behind 'Baby Shark,' today announced its first-ever collaboration with TV Asahi, one of Japan's leading broadcasters, to co-produce a new 3DCG short animation series titled 'momomo! Ninimo' (English title: momomo! Ninimo), set to premiere in Japan in January 2027.

Comprising 36 episodes, the series will air weekly on Sundays at 10:00 AM on TV Asahi's Kanto regional broadcast, with digital platform distribution planned on YouTube and TVer, among others. 'momomo! Ninimo' is a 3DCG short animation series centered around Ninii, an orange cat, and Mo, a mysterious yet lovable companion who somehow excels at cat care. Featuring expressive characters, the series delivers a playful, dialogue-free comedy world.

In the world of 'momomo! Ninimo,' even the smallest everyday moments can turn into grand adventures. Curious Ninii, Mo, and their friends find themselves caught up in various fun events, delivering charming slapstick comedy that transcends language and culture.

The series inherits the musical appeal of Ninimo, which has grown through previously released 2D animated music videos. Notably, 'Ninimo Latin Pop,' inspired by globally popular Latin music, has garnered tens of millions of views, highlighting the characters’ broad appeal and bright, playful storytelling.

Ninimo has previously appeared as a main character in Pinkfong Company's 3D animation series 'Pinkitz & Hogi: Cats of Ninimo.' This new series expands the characters' world through a fresh short-form, non-verbal format, introducing Ninii, Mo, and the Ninimo Friends to Japanese audiences through the first partnership between The Pinkfong Company and TV Asahi.

'We are thrilled to deliver 'momomo! Ninimo' to audiences in Japan through our partnership with TV Asahi. We see this project as a major opportunity to further expand the Ninimo universe through the new format of short-form, non-verbal comedy. Through expressive characters and universal humor that transcends language and generations, we hope to deliver a fresh and joyful animation experience to children and families across Japan,' said Ju Hae-min, Chief Business Officer of The Pinkfong Company and CEO of Pinkfong Japan Co., Ltd.

'momomo! Ninimo' will continue to release the latest updates via the program’s official website, YouTube channel, and official X account. Ahead of the series premiere, teaser images and videos will be shared regularly, showcasing the playful world created by Ninii, Mo, and the Ninimo Friends.
