History
The character of Pinkfong, known back then as simply "Fong", first appeared in 2011, created by Smart Books Media. Smart Books started developing apps featuring him, such as stories, songs and coloring books.
He also had other characters beside him, such as Bomi, a human girl, Momo, a blue astronaut rabbit, Ally, a dog-like creature, and the Ari, tiny black-furred creatures with shape bodies.
That same year, they launched their YouTube Channel, where they uploaded promotional videos of their apps and nursery rhymes videos.
In June 17th, 2016, they uploaded a dance practice version of their song, Baby Shark. It suddenly went viral, reaching 1 billion views and prompting many other people to create their own versions (or even parodies) of it.
In 2018, they started their venture into the animation business, with the announcement of their first animated series, Pinkfong Wonderstar.
