4	''Panpaka Pants'' is an anime series developed by DLE. Originating as a series of one-minute musical shorts that aired in 2008 on the Shizuoka Broadcasting System, the anime starred four piglets (named Taisuke, Jiro, Oshi and Keiko) who would dance in their underwear while singing a song that's intended to inform the young audience how to take care of themselves.

6	After being syndicated to TV Tokyo in the early 2010's, the shorts eventually had the spotlight shift to a single piglet named Panpaka, who proved to be so popular that he received a feature-length movie in 2014 titled ''Eiga Panpakapantsu Banananoukoku no Hihou'' (Panpaka Pants The Movie: Treasure of the Bananan Kingdom), which was subsequently followed by a five-minute television series that lasted two seasons, both of them consisting of 26 episodes.
