Sushi Pack

Sushi Pack is a children's Saturday morning cartoon that is aired on CBS' Kewlopolis animated cartoon block. It features a team of wasabi, salmon egg sushi, crab sushi,tuna sushi, and octopus sushi as they use their wits and their emotions to save the world and educate young children. The Sushi Pack team lives in a Japanese restaurant and live with humans. Despite the superhero element of the story, violence is used only as a last resort. The closing theme song of the show is a techno/rap/funk hybrid song. The lyrics of the song describes a story about a man going to a restaurant and watching his sushi come alive. Quests involve learning about the meaning of friendship, social skills, and teamwork. The show is produced by American Greetings and Tom Ruegger in the United States of America.
