Premise Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi follows the adventures of two best friends: Ami Onuki (voiced by Janice Kawaye), a peppy, optimistic, and cheerful girly girl, and Yumi Yoshimura (voiced by Grey DeLisle), a cynical, sarcastic, and grumpy tomboy. Both are based on the Japanese pop duo Puffy AmiYumi, but with different appearances and exaggerated personalities. They travel around the world on their customized tour bus along with their well-intentioned yet greedy manager Kaz Harada (voiced by Keone Young). From rocking out at a concert to hanging out in their hometown of Tokyo, the duo take the world by storm with their musical talent, trend-setting style, and humor, dishing out lessons in J-pop justice and establishing the international language of "cool" along the way.
