Go To

  • Children Voicing Children: The English dub has Ken being voiced by Julian Bailey who was around 11-12 years old when the show came to English markets, while Aimée Castle voices most of the young girls.
  • Cross-Dressing Voices: Chika Sakamoto voiced Ken in the original Japanese version, and Bumboo (Bumpety Boo) was voiced by Masako Nozawa.
  • He Also Did: One of the animation directors on the show was future Super Mario Bros. designer Yoichi Kotabe, in the same year (1985) he was hired by Nintendo.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes:
    • The original Japanese version wasn't released on home video, but the episodes are available to download through Amazon Japan.
    • The English dub released 6 tapes through Celebrity Home Entertainment, but the tapes are out of print and even then you only get about 1/4 of the series.
  • Unfinished Dub: According to many sources, the show had 130 stories, but the Saban take of the show only did about 129. Whenever or not the episode they skipped was a clip show or was a bit iffy to dub is unknown due to how the original Japanese version is hard to track down.
  • Unspecified Role Credit: The English dub shows some of the cast, but they never show who voiced which character. And even then, there are some voice actors that are missing or don't exist on the credits.
