Tom and Jerry, the iconic American cartoon duo, have undergone a delightful makeover for their first-ever made-in-Japan series. Cartoon Network Japan, known for broadcasting beloved kids’ shows, is debuting this new series, featuring an adorable cast of animal characters that could rival Hello Kitty and her Sanrio friends in cuteness.

In this revamped version, Tom and Jerry have not only gained a kawaii character design but also acquired transformation powers that allow them to turn into charming items like candies and sweets. The series’ title itself has also received a more Japanese-looking overhaul. Instead of being written in katakana, the usual script for foreign names, Tom and Jerry’s names are now written in hiragana, a softer and cuter form of Japanese script commonly used for Japanese names and words.

The new Tom and Jerry series aims to combine the fast-paced, humorous action of their classic fights with a topping of kawaii. The producers promise a more lighthearted approach, ensuring that the characters retain their mischievous charm. Joining Tom and Jerry is Tuffy, also known as Nibbles, who adds an extra dose of cuteness to the dynamic trio.

It’s important to note that these new Tom and Jerry cartoons will not replace the original ones in Japan. Instead, they will be a series of animated shorts premiering on Cartoon Network’s Japan broadcast. Viewers can catch them as part of a special block of various Tom and Jerry cartoons on November 11, which coincides with Cheese Day in Japan, a whimsical quasi-holiday dedicated to the love of cheese.

Fecomic invites you to join the playful adventures of Tom, Jerry, and Tuffy in this kawaii-filled series. Don’t miss out on the laughter and excitement that awaits you in this delightful world of Japanese Tom and Jerry!
