Monchichi

What's Monchhichi?


Monchichi Dolls: Monchhichi (モンチッチ Monchitchi) is a line of Japanese stuffed toy monkeys from the Sekiguchi Corporation. They are licensed by Mattel in the United States. Two television series were produced based on the characters: the Japanese anime series Monchhichi Twins (ふたごのモンチッチ Futago no Monchhichi) in 1980, and the American cartoon series Monchhichis in 1983.

History of Monchhichi


The Monchhichi franchise is held by the Sekiguchi Corporation, a famous doll company, located in Tokyo, Japan. Monchhichi was created by Koichi Sekiguchi on January 25, 1974. Sekiguchi claims he has created this character in order to inspire respect and love in the young (Japanese) children and adults.

The Monchhichi dolls was successful in Japan, and the Monchhichi animated TV series, Futago no Monchhichi (ふたごのモンチッチ, Monchhichi Twins) which ran in 1980, helped increase its popularity even more.

Exportation of the doll line started in 1975, toward West Germany and Australia. The following years would see the Monchhichi line marketed in all of Western Europe. The original name was changed to "Chicaboo" in the United Kingdom, to "Mon Cicci" in Italy and to "Kiki" in France.

The Monchhichi dolls line reached the North American shores in 1979. Mattel bought the license for both the toy line. As recently as January 2010, Monchhichis are still available in the United States from retailers such as Target. The American cartoon series Monchhichis was produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1983 and aired on ABC.

The show didn’t catch on as well as Hanna-Barbera’s other little critter shows like The Smurfs and Snorks. The show aired for just one season on ABC’s Saturday morning lineup.
