Cartoon Network Japan (カートゥーン ネットワーク, Kātūn Nettowāku?), legally known as Turner Japan K.K., is a Japanese cable and satellite television channel that mostly airs children's animated television series. Cartoon Network in Japan broadcasts original series from Cartoon Network in the U.S., as well as several Japanese animated media and other non-Japanese programs. Many non-Japanese programs are also available in English audio using a secondary audio programming. It is one of few versions of Cartoon Network outside U.S. broadcast its programs in High Definition.
On October 1, 2011, Cartoon Network Japan, along with the Cartoon Network channels operated by Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific, adopted its current branding.
