Button Nose

***Button Nose*** (Japanese: ***夢の星のボタンノーズ***, lit. *Button Nose of the Star of Dreams*) is a Japanese animated series that was produced by Sanrio and Topcraft. It is notable for being the first TV show to star a Sanrio character. It originally aired between October 19, 1985 and April 26, 1986 on TV Asahi for 26 episodes. Saban later picked up this series and distributed it via the Fox Kids channel in Europe and Latin America. They also produced an English dub whose footage was used as a basis for other dubs.

While the original Japanese version received several VHS releases with episodes sold in volumes, they seem to be extremely rare, and no footage has been uploaded save for the opening and ending themes and an unseeded torrent containing the first 3 episodes.
