The name is a portmanteau of "toon" and the Japanese term banzai, reflecting the majority of anime programming on the block. As of April 12, 2013, the Toonzai website now redirects to the Vortexx website. As of September 27, 2014, some 4Kids programs are no longer airing on television (with the exception of Pokémon), as Vortexx ended its run.
