Kuu Kuu Harajuku is an Australian made cartoon that launched in 2015, based on a pitch from Gwen Stefani and her somewhat controversial 'Harajuku Girls'. The show sees Stefani's Harajuku Lovers brand brought to life, following the exploits of teen girl band HJ5 - consisting of Angel, Baby, Love, Music and G - and their friends and enemies.
Mattel launched a tie in range of merchandise in 2017, including a debut wave of fashion dolls and separate fashion packs. With 11 points of articulation, the dolls stand 10 inches tall and have rooted hair and screened faces. A second wave of dolls and a concert stage playset followed in 2018, although the articulation was now missing.
There is also a range of 4 inch mini dolls and playsets. Find out more at kuukuuharajuku.com.
