| - In 2005, following the premiere of Sesame Street (Japan), the Japanese toy company Takara Tomy produced a line of singing hand puppets. When the puppet's mouth was manipulated, the character would utter different English words or a song. The characters included Teena, Ernie, Elmo, Cookie Monster and Big Bird. Each character utters "Hi" and their name ("I'm Teena," "I'm Elmo," etc.) In addition, each puppet was programmed with a public domain children's song.
