TV’s first raw-fi sh-out-of-water comedy! When unemployed Cleveland actor Mikey Simon is recruited to join the cast of LilyMu, formerly Japan’s hottest anime series, let’s just say “the fi sh doesn’t stick to the rice”. His co-stars can tell right away that he’s the wrong guy for the job. But the viewers disagree, and suddenly, Mikey is Japan’s newest superstar, rocketing LilyMu back to the top of the ratings. Kappa Mikey is the story of Mikey’s epic struggle to win over his co-workers, get a clue about Japanese culture and look cool while wrestling giant robotic beetles!
