Adventures of the Little Koala (known in Japan as Koala Boy Kockey (コアラボーイコッキィ, Koara Bōi Kokki)) is an anime television series produced by Hakuhodo. It aired originally in Japan on TV Tokyo from October 4, 1984, through March 28, 1985, and then aired in the United States on Nickelodeon (later moved into the Nick Jr. block upon its launch at the start of 1988) dubbed in English from June 1, 1987, until April 2, 1993.[1] The storyline revolved around Roobear Koala (voiced in English by former child actor Steven Bednarski) and his friends and their utopian village in the Australian bush, known in the Japanese version as Yukari Village,[2] within the shadow of a real rock formation known as The Breadknife.

Production of the English and French versions of the series was done by the Canadian studio Cinar Films.
