Ocha-Ken is a toy line and media franchise created by Sega Toys and Horipro in 2002. The name means "tea puppy" in Japanese, and most of the characters have tea leaves for ears. An animated series was produced in 2003, and multiple video games for Nintendo handheld systems have also been released, primarily developed by MTO.

Characters

The characters are dogs themed around different types of tea.

  • Ryoku: A green tea-themed dog who is laid-back. He was born on May 2nd and he enjoys sunbathing.
  • Aru: A red black tea-themed dog. He has a strong sense of justice and can only be seen by people who work hard.
  • Ron: A black oolong-themed dog with golden ears. He has a cool personality and can only be seen by the innocent.
  • Hana: A pink herbal tea-themed dog. She is the only female in the main cast and can only be seen by kind people.
  • Chai: A cream masala chai-themed dog. He has a spoiled personality and can only be seen by lonely people.
  • Cafe: A brown coffee-themed dog. He can only be seen by mature people.

Toys

The tea-scented Ocha-Ken toys were the original product of the brand, released by Sega Toys in collaboration with Horipro in 2002.

There are also cat characters known as Ocha-Neko. In 2007, a new group of characters based on various desserts, entitled "Ocha-Ken Sweets", was introduced. Special toys have been released as a bonus when purchasing certain bottled teas.

Animated series

The Ocha-Ken animated series aired from October 2003 to March 2004 on Kids Station and was aimed at a younger audience. There are 26 episodes, approximately 3½ minutes long, which include a short story and a lesson.

The third season of the anime, Ocha-ken: Ryokutto Monogatari, had its episodes distributed through special vending machines, where the episodes can be watched on Nintendo DS game consoles.
