Hoka Hoka Kazoku (ほかほか家族, lit. Warm Warm Family[1]) is a Japanese anime television series which aired weekdays on the Fuji TV Network in Japan between October 1, 1976, and March 31, 1982, for a total of 1428 five-minute episodes.[2][3][4] It was sponsored by the National Federation of Agricultural Co-operative Associations (now more commonly as JA Zen-Noh).

Plot

The series doesn't have a real plot, but is rather an educational series using both live action and animation to provide information about life in modern Japan.[1] The series content has been compared to that of Bottle Fairy.[1] The series was sponsored by the National Federation of Agricultural Co-operative Associations, as well as by the office of the Prime Minister of Japan.[1]
