It is an English version of the Japanese anime series Kyatto Ninden Teyandee, which aired on TV Tokyo from February 1, 1990 to February 12, 1991. It aired for 54 episodes.[1] It was very popular among English anime fans because of its references to pop culture and the crazy nature of the show.
The series is about a group of three robotic samurai cats (Rick Gomez, Tress MacNeille, Paul Reubens) called the Samurai Pizza Cats who protect the city of Little Tokyo from crime. Little Tokyo is a mechanical city which combines feudal Japanese culture with present day culture. When they are not fighting crime, the Samurai Pizza Cats work at the city's pizzeria.
