Puppet Sunsun

Puppet Sunsun is a short puppet series airing weekly on the morning program Mezamashi TV on Fuji Television. The show's home video release arrived on July 15, 2026, and a guidebook from Poplar Publishing is set for November 11.

Synthesized from 5 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 18

Puppet Sunsun airs weekly within Fuji Television's morning program Mezamashi TV. That placement defined the series through mid-2026. Then the property started moving into formats that assume a dedicated audience. Fuji Television released the show on Blu-ray and DVD on July 15, in deluxe and regular editions. The deluxe set carries an NFC keyholder, a diorama acrylic stand and a postcard set, with bonus footage of the show's TV commercials and a performance from the 2025 FNS Kayousai.

The merchandise push runs wider than the broadcast. In July, Furyu launched two prize items from the third week of the month: a 25 cm floatie plush of Sunsun and Nonnon, and clear storage cases measuring 33 by 22 by 24 cm showing Sunsun, Nonnon and Zonzon. Zoff's collaboration collection, titled "Zoff | PUPPET SUNSUN," launched on July 3 at select Zoff stores and the Zoff official online store. It includes eight eyewear types designed around a food theme, six glasses models priced between 9,900 and 12,200 yen and two sunglass models at 9,900 yen each, plus accessories and a web-exclusive trading acrylic keychain complete set at 2,500 yen. The franchise's social media following exceeds 3.5 million across platforms, per that collection's announcement. A pop-up tour, "HELLO! PUPPET SUNSUN," opened July 1 in Tokyo and runs in 12 cities nationwide with over 90 products, including items featuring Fanfan and Tsukutsuku and city-specific limited stickers and acrylic keychains.

Poplar Publishing will release the Puppet Sunsun Guidebook on November 11, with online pre-orders opening September 16 at Rakuten Books and other online bookstores. The book collects character profiles and setting material on the puppet country Two Hook, and includes newly shot gravure pages of Sunsun, Nonnon, Zonzon, Tsukutsuku and Fanfan. Original goods will be sold at about 600 bookstores, 12 stores will hold pop-ups, and the event Where's SUNSUN? runs at 195 Miraiya Shoten stores from November 11 to November 29. The guidebook arrives after the show has run as a serialized work without a book of its own.
