 was the original concept of the series created by SIP Animation.

Sypnosis

 * In this teaser/clip, watch little warriors known as Ko-Bushi shooting toothpicks and hurling wasabi bombs at each other. It's a battle between Shogun, the high-strung master, and Shiro and Tamako, the smart sibling samurai. After the soy souce has been spilled, all that is left is a hilarious, short adventure series!

History
SIP Animation was a French animation studio, and a former subsidiary of Saban Entertainment. In 2009, following Disney's full acquisition of Jetix Europe, SIP Animation silently went dormant and on May 12, 2009, the company was subject to liquidation, and SIP Animation as a whole was listed as fully closed on June 11, 2012.

Before SIP Animation's liquidation, the studio have pitched a 3-minute TV pilot for "Ko-Bushi" called "Miso-Rable" which was co-produced by Inspidea and it was release in 2008. According to the Animation Magazine, the series was originally going to have 78 episodes with a 3-minute length. But because of SIP Animation's liquidation, the series have been retooled under the slightly different title Kobushi with the involvement of Zagtoon, a studio that was co-founded by SIP co-founder Jaqueline Tordjman and have also houses several key people who formally worked at SIP, like composers Alain Garcia and Noam Kaniel.

Trivia

 * In the original series, none of the characters have any spoken dialogues and they instead speak in a gibberish language.
 * Because this is the original concept of what the TV series was going to be during SIP Animation's time, none of the characters in the final Zagtoon version, such as Toro, Tamago, and Néko, existed during its creation yet.
 * While the original concept was scrapped, some of the characters have similarities to the canon characters in the final version:
 * Shiro's design is most likely the inspiration for Toro.
 * While they're siblings, Shiro's and Tamako's names are similar to Toro and Tamago, respectively. Coincidentally, Tamago and Tamako both happened to be females.
 * The Shogun and his associates being antagonists are similar to Néko and his associates, Sho, Yu, and Ka. However, the Shogun's design is similar to Ebi's.
 * The original idea of the series is similar to the final version, in which the sushis come alive at a Japanese restaurant every night.
 * According to the Inspidea website, the original series was originally going to air in 2010.
