lea_hazelMy brother just had the same realization I had a few years back, regarding the childhood cartoons we watched. He said the opening song to PMMM sounded Israeli to him but of course, it was the other way around. Since the cartoons were dubbed in Hebrew and the books of origin (and thus the names of the characters and places) were all European or sometimes USian, neither of us realized at the time that they were produced and adapted in Japan.
Okay, maybe I managed to figure out Samurai Pizza Cats.
In fairness to my child self, a blonde boy named Nils is maybe not one's first guess for the star of a Japanese show. They appear to have been quite selective about what to import until fairly recently. Some of the shows were also co-productions.
...Wow, I'm checking Wikipedia and it's really almost all of them.
I feel sort of sad for my child self for not knowing these things.
