More than 30 years ago, at the time, Miss Nagai longed for the American culture she saw on television. Seeing the lively and cheerful protagonists in TV shows and comics all looking vibrant and energetic left a deep impression on her.

       One day, in an unexpected moment of inspiration, Miss Nagai did not hesitate to draw a large picture of the white dog she had as a child on paper, with upright black ears to show his curiosity and sunshine.

       It was on 6 March 1988 that LITTLE BOBDOG was born.
