じゃがいぬくん (Jagainu-kun) was a series of
26 3-minute long animated shorts that first aired on the
TBS program ブリンぶりん家 (Burinburinya) from April to July in 2004. Reruns
were then moved to Kid's Station.
Jagainu-kun
takes its name from the titular character, who is a kind-hearted
resident of Vegetable Village, where many vegetable-animal hybrids live. The
word "jagainu" is a combination of jagaimo (potato) and inu (dog);
the fantranslation uses the name "Dogtato."

Before the animation, Jagainu-kun started out as a series of 4-koma comics by Masako Sugiyama. The first collection was published in 1997, and the strip was seralized in Asahi Elementary School Newspaper beginning in April of 2001. |
