Funky Fu! Pop Star Fighter

'Funky Fu! Pop Star Fighter' is an American animated television series created for the Gingo network by Arlo-Avocha Vernon. The series, inspired by Vernon's childhood experiences growing up in karate class, focuses on Tad Sumoray (Kath Soucie), a 13-year old Chinese-American rapper and the last remaining member of a tree of kung fu fighters, the spirits of whom claim stuffed pandas for their new bodies. With the aid of both his panda sidekicks and his fans, Tad must save mankind from the sirens of the underworld, while spreading messages of love, hope, and integrity.

The series borrows its quirky style from a variety of influences, including Saturday morning cartoons such as Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and Sport Billy, and dance music. The series first aired in the United States on February 22, 1997, and ended its run on July 31, 2004. The show has also appeared internationally on Teletoon in Canada, SBS and Cartoon Network in South Korea and Fox Kids/Jetix in Latin America.

Funky Fu! has achieved a strong cult status among critics and audiences for its humor, visual style, and themes, and is notable for helping action-oriented Gingo series to rise into popularity at the turn of the new millennium.
