Higepiyo (Japanese: ヒゲぴよ, lit. "Tweet Beard") is a four-panel gag manga by Risa Itō about a small yellow bird with a beard, who ends up as a pet of a boy named Hiroshi. Serialized between 2004 and 2006 in Shueisha's Chorus magazine, the series was later compiled into a single volume on January 12, 2007.[1][2] It was later adapted into an anime television series, which premiered on April 3, 2009, directed by Atsushi Takeyama, written by Natsuko Takahashi and with music by Toshio Masuda. The anime adaptation later inspired the creation of a spin-off manga series, published in Ribon magazine.[3]
