Kemono Friends

- Season 1

(2017)

In the Savanna area of a place known as Japari Park, a girl carrying a hat and a bag comes across Serval, who is a humanized animal known as a Friend. Noticing the girl has no memory of where she came from or what kind of animal she is, Serval names the girl "Kaban" after her bag and decides to lead her to the Savanna exit so she can find the Japari Library for more information.

Lucky Beast guides Kaban and Serval through the Jungle area, where they soon discover a broken down bus. With help from an Asian small-clawed otter and a jaguar, the girls manage to find the bus' driver seat section on the other side of a river, but struggle to find a way to carry it back to the bus.

Receiving a lift from a crested ibis, Kaban manages to reach the Japari Café at the top of the mountain, run by an alpaca who is depressed over the lack of customers.

While passing through the desert, Kaban and Serval become trapped in an underground labyrinth alongside a tsuchinoko, having to work together with her to find an exit.

Serval accidentally knocks the bus into some logs, which an American beaver was planning to use to build her house, despite lacking the courage to go through with it. While searching for replacement trees, the girls come across a prairie dog, who is also having trouble building a home as the tunnels she digs keep collapsing in on her.

Kaban and Serval come across a fort, where a lion explains that she is always easily beating a rival team, led by a moose, and wants them to become good enough to fight her directly.

Wanting to find out more about humans, Kaban and Serval head towards Japari Library, first having to go through a trivia-based maze.

Kaban and Serval travel to the Waterfront Area, where the third generation of PPP are holding their first concert, and meet a fangirl Friend named Margay.

Kaban and Serval pass through the Snowy Mountains Area, deciding to make their way towards a hot spring. While taking shelter in an igloo Kaban made during a snowstorm, the girls are approached by two foxes, Silver Fox and Ezo Red Fox, who lead them to some natural hot springs on their way to fix some broken equipment.

The girls arrive at Lodge Campo, run by a campo flicker. While exploring the lodge, they meet a grey wolf and a reticulated giraffe, while also hearing another message from Mirai.

Kaban and Serval are rescued from a black Cerulean by a golden snub-nosed monkey, who works alongside Brown Bear and African Wild Dog as Cerulean hunters. After Lucky Beast exclaims a warning about something called Sandstar Raw, Kaban and Serval follow him up a mountain while the hunters stay behind to hunt the black Cerulean.

Shocked to learn that Kaban had been eaten by the Cerulean while saving her, Serval goes with Brown Bear to attempt to save her. Meanwhile, Lucky Beast sends a transmission to all of the other Friends.
