Pankun
Pankun, (sometimes spelled pan-kun) is a young chimpanzee in Japan often featured on the NTV television show "Tensai! Shimura Doubutsu-en" ("天才！志村動物園", lit. "Genius! Shimura Zoo") and the TBS program "Doubutsu Kisou Tengai!" ("動物園奇想天外!", lit. "Unbelievable Animals!"). Most of the segments feature him and his bulldog friend, James, embarking on a variety of "human" tasks, like buying groceries, planting a rice paddy, or catching insects.

The show has also been translated into international versions; for Nick in India as "The Munnabhai Show", for JET TV in Taiwan (狗狗猩猩大冒險) , for Modern Nine in Thailand (ขำกลิ้งลิงกับหมา) and TVB in Hong Kong (阿笨與阿占) as "The Adventures of Pan and James: Chimpanzee and Bulldog on Errands," winning Best Foreign Purchased Program at the 2006 TVB Anniversary Awards.
