GetNavi^[1] (1 September 2022, Yamayoshi's 35th anniversary release) and a 2018 review blog both give 1987 as the launch year; no month or day is published, so 1 January is a placeholder. Note a 2016 president interview says the first version was named 'American Taste' before becoming Wasabeef.

Yamayoshi Seika's Wasabeef, a potato chip flavoured with wasabi and beef inspired by roast beef and horseradish eaten in the US, first went on sale in Japan in 1987 and had a 35th-anniversary retro pack in 2022.

Broadcast start date confirmed on the title's own MyAnimeList^[1] listing.

One of the longest-running anime in the medium’s history, Nintama Rantarou has aired on NHK continuously since April 10, 1993, adapting Sōbē Amako's manga about Rantarou, Shinbei, and Kirimaru — first-year students at a Sengoku-era ninja academy who are more interested in food, money, and mischief than in mastering ninjutsu. Produced by Ajia-do, it packages short comic vignettes into each half-hour episode and has grown into a multi-generational institution in Japan, with an episode count now well past 2,000.
