Popee the Performer (ポピーザぱフォーマー) is a series of 3DCG shorts produced for Kids Station, one of the all-anime satellite stations in Japan. The show was produced by husband-wife team Ryuji Masuda (writer) and Wakako Masuda (art director, art design and character designer). The music was composed by Osamu Tezuka, and the vocals within the main theme song, New Years' Special, and OST belong to Aoyagi Tsuneo (青柳常夫). A manga drawn by Wakako Masuda was published in Kodansha's Magazine Z in 2002 and was later released as an anthology.The show follows Popee, an apprentice clown, and his assistant, Kedamono, as they attempt various Circus acts and go about their daily lives as performers. Things have a way of going wrong, however-- whether it's a blinding rage, burning jealously, or even something as simple as hunger. Their mentor, Papi, is little help to the chaos they tend to find themselves in.
