I stumbled across these the other night. Mameshiba (apparently 'little bean dogs' in Japanese) feature in an animated series of 'facts' - with a cute little character for each variety of bean/legume. It seems the animations were placed by an ad agency, to appear on Japanese television in ad slots. And they are quite entertaining.
But why? What are they advertising? Beans in general?? - government health campaign? Or was this simply a means of publicising the bean characters as cartoons / merchandise? If you know, please comment!
ps Weirdly, flamingos really do produce a kind of milk to feed young!
