Production

BoBoiBoy is the first series of Animonsta Studios Sdn. Bhd., an animation company established by Nizam Razak with three other partners: Safwan Abdul Karim, Anas Abdul Aziz, and Kee Yong Pin after they left Les' Copaque Production in 2009. [4] [5]

The original concept of the story centres on a coffee-addict alien named Adu Du who has made his way to Earth. [6] A minor change was made later, where instead of coffee, the alien is now in search of cocoa. [7] The change, according to its Facebook fan page, was due to the fact that coffee is a bitter-tasting drink, and does not appeal to children. [8]

The series was released simultaneously in two languages: Malay and English, for the local and international market respectively. Both versions fully utilise different voice actors. In the Malay version, Nur Fathiah Diaz, was chosen to voice the main character, BoBoiBoy. [9] The series ended after three seasons and was taken up by its sequel, BoBoiBoy Galaxy , starting on 25 November 2016.
