Mumbai: Sony YAY! is turning up the heat this summer with a never-before-seen Shin chan special, promising fans across India an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, excitement, and immersive engagement. The channel is all set to launch an extensive multi-platform initiative that brings Shin chan beyond the screen — into homes, hearts, and everyday adventures.
The festivities begin with the TV premiere of brand-new Shin chan episodes, never seen before on Indian television. These episodes promise fresh plots, new characters, and all the classic mischief that Shin chan fans have grown to love. Complementing the series, the channel will also roll out a series of exciting movies throughout the summer months to keep young audiences entertained.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Taking Shin chan beyond the couch, Sony YAY! is going hyperlocal with on-ground activations across key markets. These interactive experiences will feature themed activity zones, meet-and-greets, and games, all aimed at bringing the world of Shin chan to life. Kids will get the chance to win exclusive merchandise, pose with life-sized cutouts, and dive deeper into the character’s playful universe.
Adding to the excitement is a collaboration with travel brand Mokobara, launching a Mokobara x Shin chan collection. Blending Shin chan’s signature charm with Mokobara’s contemporary style, the collection includes playful, vibrant travel accessories that appeal to kids and young adults alike—transforming the beloved character into a quirky fashion icon.
Ronojoy Chakraborty, Head – Programming, Sony YAY!, shared, “Kids today seek deeper connections with their favourite characters – not just on screen, but in the world around them. This summer, we’re bringing Shin chan closer to them through fresh stories and meaningful extensions that make him a part of their everyday lives.

With a robust mix of fresh content, real-world engagement, and fashionable merch, Sony YAY! is making sure that this summer, Shin chan is not just back — he’s everywhere.
