The quizmaster is an \u201ceternal 5-year-old\u201d character named Chiko, who is half CGI and half live actor and voiced by a famous comedian.<\/p>\n<p>Flimsy answers to the questions result in Chiko having a tantrum before an expert reveals the true answer with a humorous demonstration or experiment. The show has aired 162 episodes in Japan since its launch in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Ed Louwerse, founder of Lineup Industries, said: \u201c<em>Chiko\u2019s Challenge<\/em> is a family quiz show but it\u2019s totally unique. With the increasing demand for lighter entertainment and a continuing move towards co-viewing, this show provides fun and entertainment for the whole family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ana Mar\u00eda Bordas, TVE\u2019s head of originals, added: \u201c<em>Chiko\u2019s Challenge<\/em> or <em>Mapi<\/em>, as we will call it in Spain, is a format that is aimed at a wide and varied audience. RTVE has decided to bet on this humor contest for being visually and technologically innovative in which the protagonist is a girl whose image is created by CGI. RTVE is committed to introducing new formats and in this case, we are very pleased to share this experience created and tested by Japanese public TV NHK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Koji Matsumoto, president and CEO of NHK Enterprises, said: \u201cWe are tremendously excited to see Chiko, who is beloved by viewers of all ages in Japan, will be traveling outside her home country and be transformed into Mapi in Spain! This is NHK\u2019s first entertainment format to be localized overseas, and we are very grateful to Lineup Industries, Media Crest and TVE for partnering with us to make this happen. We look forward to developing the program with them and sincerely hope that Mapi will become a household name in Spain just like Chiko at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Francisco Pou, CEO of Mediacrest, said: \u201c<em>Chiko&#8217;s Challenge<\/em>, (<em>Mapi<\/em> in Spain) is a diamond that we are delighted to produce for TVE; it&#8217;s a fantastic program that fits perfectly with Mediacrest&#8217;s philosophy and that will delight the Spanish public.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lineup Industries has secured a deal with Mediacrest to produce 60 episodes of NHK\u2019s co-viewing format Chiko\u2019s Challenge for the Spanish public broadcaster TVE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":8907,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2237,1109,1960,196],"class_list":["post-8906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-chikos-challenge","tag-lineup-industries","tag-mediacrest","tag-tve","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NHK\u2019s Chiko\u2019s Challenge Set for Spanish Version - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/nhks-chikos-challenge-set-for-spanish-version\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"NHK\u2019s Chiko\u2019s Challenge Set for Spanish Version - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Lineup Industries has secured a deal with Mediacrest to produce 60 episodes of NHK\u2019s co-viewing format Chiko\u2019s Challenge for the Spanish public broadcaster TVE.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/nhks-chikos-challenge-set-for-spanish-version\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-04-11T15:07:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-04-11T16:51:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/07\/ChikosChallenge.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/nhks-chikos-challenge-set-for-spanish-version\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/nhks-chikos-challenge-set-for-spanish-version\/\",\"name\":\"NHK\u2019s Chiko\u2019s Challenge Set for Spanish Version - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-04-11T15:07:08+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-04-11T16:51:06+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/nhks-chikos-challenge-set-for-spanish-version\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/nhks-chikos-challenge-set-for-spanish-version\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/nhks-chikos-challenge-set-for-spanish-version\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"NHK\u2019s Chiko\u2019s Challenge Set for Spanish Version\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
