Setting[]
The anime is officially set in the fictional Challenge Island (ちゃれんじ島, Charenji shima) located somewhere in the world.

Various means of transport as well as subways exist in the island. Aside from the animal characters, some characters such as Witches and Fairies exist in the island.

The entire series focuses on Shimajiro Shimano, a curious tiger boy living in Challenge Island. Being the second in the family, he attends Kindergarten alongside his friends as they all discover everything around them, and learn valuable lessons as they grow up.

His Japanese name in the series is always mispronounced in several promotional materials.[4] [13] Flappie is an aspiring singer,[14] but is somehow tone-deaf.[12] He usually likes Takoyaki but like Shimajiro, he is easily scared of thunder, ghost stories and lastly by ghosts.

She can be nice but spoiled, selfish and clumsy and has a habit on crying if someone doesn't favor her opinion sometimes. Mimi-Lynne is also a good aspiring singer as well and also likes to be a princess.[25] She initially is one of two characters in the series (the other being Ramurin) to not have an older sibling, but after Ramurin leaves Challenge Island in the series finale of Shimajirō Hesoka, Mimirin becomes the only one.[20][26]

Her own father is a painter, and aspires her to become one when she grows up one day.[28] She loves Pudding,[29] but she has fears of ghosts and she is not good at running fast. She also likes both sports Judo and Sumo. Unlike the other characters, Ramurin's mentality is much higher than the rest of the main cast and usually behaves like a responsible sister.

Like Mimirin, she doesn't have any older sibling.[26][27] She officially left Challenge Island along with her father during the last episode of Shimajirō Hesoka, and moved to France to achieve her goals. As a result, she is the only character who does not appear in any of the movies.[30]
