Where to watch the Chiikawa anime: Netflix, the Korean dub, episode 1, and which episodes match which arc

Where can you watch Chiikawa in South Korea?

We confirmed two official places: Netflix, and the Korean dub on the official AniBox YouTube channel. For the Korean dub → AniBox’s official YouTube; for Japanese audio with Korean subtitles → Netflix.

Netflix

Title 『먼가 작고 귀여운 녀석』. 25 episodes of 7–8 minutes, rated 12+. Audio: Japanese only. Subtitles: Korean, English, Japanese.

AniBox YouTube (Korean dub)

Playlist “[전편공개]먼작귀”, from episode 1. 257 videos as of Oct 11, 2026 (this is the number of videos, not episodes).

• On Aug 14, 2026, Netflix Anime announced on X that a collection of Chiikawa episodes would come to Netflix in select regions of Asia from Sep 20, 2026. Netflix Korea has the title page.
• Netflix’s “Episode 1” is not the anime’s episode 1. Each Netflix episode bundles several short episodes, and the first one is a story where Chiikawa and Hachiware copy the way Kurimanju (“밤만쥬” on Netflix Korea) drinks, not the first broadcast episode.
• When Chiifan opened the AniBox playlist from Japan, the videos were not shown (which videos you can see may depend on your region).
• We only list official sources. Episode lists change, so check each service for what is available now.

Is there a Korean dub?

Yes. AniBox, a Korean anime channel, began posting the Korean-dubbed version on its official YouTube channel on May 11, 2023, starting with episode 1, and a July 2026 interview said new episodes were posted weekly.

• In the Korean dub, Hachiware is called “Gareuma” (가르마) and Usagi “Tokki” (토끼). Chiikawa is voiced by Lee Ju-eun, Hachiware by Son Jeong-min, and Usagi by Kwon Da-ye (Wikitree interview, July 2026).
• The Netflix Korea title page lists Japanese audio only (as of Oct 11, 2026).
• The movie, which opened in Korea on Sept 30, 2026, has its own subtitled and dubbed versions; see our movie page.

The anime in Japan, and episode 1

The anime began on Apr 4, 2022 inside Fuji TV’s morning show “Mezamashi TV”. Episode 1 is titled 「かためのプリン／ホットケーキ」 (“Firm Pudding / Pancakes”). It airs every Tuesday and Friday; each episode is very short.

• The latest new episode before the broadcast break was episode 382 (aired Sep 29, 2026). From Oct 2 to Dec 25, 2026, Mezamashi TV is rerunning 25 popular past episodes, and new episodes are scheduled to return in January 2027.
• In Japan, episodes can be watched for a week after broadcast on YouTube, FOD and TVer (these are services for Japan, so they may be hard to watch from abroad). Netflix Japan also has the series (two seasons, Japanese audio).
• There is no anime episode guide in English on the official site; the episode titles in our table below come from the official Japanese list.

Which anime episodes match which story arc?

These 16 long stories from the comic have been animated. Each row shows the anime episode numbers and links to the arc, which you can read in order from the first post. Episode numbers follow the Japanese broadcast; Netflix and AniBox group and order episodes differently, so searching by title is easier there.
