Japanese potty training anime

"If you can use the toilet, you've become a 'pantsman'!"

The above quote starts off this Japanese potty training video posted by Deebingo. It teaches kids that when they can use a toilet, they can become a "pantsman." Think of it as the equivalent of getting your blue belt in karate class. And I just love the smiling turds near the end of the video!

Here's the first dialogue:
Kid tiger:"My stomach's going muzu muzu (feels itchy)."
Tiger Mom: "And when your stomach goes muzu muzu, what does it mean?"
Kid tiger: "I gotta pee pee! Toilet!"


Song:
"When you shi shi, it goes "shi pa pa"

Second dialogue:
Kid tiger" "My butt's going muzu muzu"
Tiger Dad: "And when it goes muzu muzu, what does it mean?"
Kid tiger: "Doo doo! I gotta toilet!"

Talking toilet: "Okay, let's try making doo doo"

Song:
"When you unchi (Japanese for "doo doo"), it goes "un pa pa""

Tiger dad: "Wipe your butt"
(smiling turds go down toilet)
Kid Tiger: "Bye bye doo doo!"

Kid Tiger: Daddy, I did a doo doo.
Tiger Dad: You did a good job. So from today, you can wear underwear! (Instead of diapers).


Enjoy the live action afterwards!

At the pediatrician's office, he asked if my kids knew what "shi-shi" was...he said they used it in Hawaii as slang. My mom, who was from Japan, used that too...but had also spent time in Hawaii. I wondered if she had picked it up from Hawaii or from Japan. The doc said he thought it was used only in Hawaii. So of course I had to Google it to see who was right about what. Thanks for the cartoon!
