Button Nose (夢の星のボタンノーズ, Yume no Hoshi no Botan Nōzu, also known as Dream-Star Button Nose) is a 26-episode Japanese animated TV series that aired from 19 October 1985 to 26 April 1986. The series takes place in a fairy tale and science fiction setting and follows the protagonist Button Nose as she finds out she is descended from royalty. [1] It was the first TV series produced by Sanrio. [1] [2]
The Button Nose character was originally designed by Masayo Hirose (広瀬昌代) for Sanrio, and introduced in 1978. [1] [3] [4] Sanrio's character profiles portray Button Nose as a sweet and lively girl, who makes strawberry jam and likes cookies. She is called Button Nose because her nose is small and round. [5] [6]
In 1983 Sanrio built a strawberry shaped store based on the fictional home of Button Nose. [7] Located in Tokyo, the store was originally planned to be in place for a limited time, but due to positive customer response it remained in operation until 2011. [8]
Button Nose was animated by Topcraft and was the first TV series produced by Sanrio. [1] [2]
Music for the series was composed by Kohei Tanaka and was his first anime music score of many. [9]
The animation production of the series was completed in 1983, but the actual broadcast date was two years later. [1]
An English dub was produced by Saban in 1994.
