But after years of seeing the famous couple as they appear above, Nissin, maker of Cup Noodles, has given them a gorgeous modern makeover with the newest installment of its Hungry Days short anime series.
In the Sazae-san anime, Sazae and Masao are very much the image of mature adult life.
Through the years, the series has stayed committed to its core concept of heartwarming tales of middle-class family life.
Since its premiere in 1969, a new episode of Sazae-san has been ready for viewers to enjoy each and every week.
