Pikotarō voices every character, including himself. Flash animation studio DLE is handling animation production. Pikotarō is credited as the original creator and with the music under his "producer" name Daimaō Kosaka.
Pikotarō is best known for his bizarre viral music video "PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen)."
