About Samurai Pizza Cats

Meet Samurai Pizza Cats (キャッ党忍伝てやんでえ), an action, comedy and mecha anime by Shaft and Tatsunoko Production (1990). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: The setting is a Japanese looking village named `Little Tokyo' where the Pizza Cats run a pizza fastfood business. Little Tokyo is populated by all kinds of animals.

From there, the official governor of the town is the Emperor, but since he has gone bananas a council takes care of the well-being of the village. One of the members of this council is called Seymour "Big" Cheese, who secretly wishes to take over control of the village. The pizza take away restaurant is merely a cover for their true job...

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Maria Kawamura as Usako Tokugawa and Juurouta Kosugi as Sukashi. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 54 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Shaft and Tatsunoko Production, so the studio's house style defines how Samurai Pizza Cats looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Maria Kawamura as Usako Tokugawa, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 1990, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
