スマーフ

Broadcast
As the Japanese Wikipedia claimed, this show was aired on TV Tokyo in Japan between October of 1985 (or November of 1985) to March of 1986 under the name of "小さな森の精 あいあむ!スマーフ" (Chīsana mori no sei ai amu! Sumāfu, also known as "the little spirit of a forest: I am! Smurf"). Only the first season were dubbed in Japanese. The Japanese Wikipedia also claims that one episode "Soup A La Smurf" wasn't dubbed for airing on TV Tokyo nor it was dubbed until years later.

Later reruns on other Japanese television stations instead using the "森のスマーフ" (Mori no sumāfu) instead.

Trivia

 * While episodes names were given literal translation, some of them were given different names, for example: "All That Glitters Isn't Smurf" becomes "スマーフェットの怖い夢" (Smurfette's Scary Dream), "Smurphony in 'C'" becomes "スマーフ協奏曲" (The Smurf Concert), "Sorcerer Smurf" becomes "謎のスマーフ大王" (The Mysterious Smurf King), "Dreamy's Nightmare" becomes "スマーフの冒険旅行" (Smurf's Journey Trip), and "Spelunking Smurfs" becomes "一人占めは、いけません" (Don't Claim It as Yours), though it mistakenly written as "ひとりじめは、いけません" (Don't Leave Me Alone) in the Japanese Wikipedia article.
 * In late 2010s, the dub was made officially available on official Japanese Smurfs YouTube channel, opened by IMPS SA, the Smurfs' franchise owner, as part of their internationally-localized YouTube channels dedicated to the Smurfs. As the Japanese Wikipedia article claimed, "Soup A La Smurf", was unaired on TV Tokyo nor was it already dubbed, but it was made available on the official Japanese channel, dubbed with a different voice cast. You can see the channel here.
 * The Japanese dub has an alternative theme song similar to the famous "Smurf la la la" or "Smurfingland" theme song, and it uses clips from the opening of the first seasons and as well as a few episodes of the first season, with the opening cast credits added onscreen, which is common in Japanese anime. The YouTube releases kept the original English theme song for the first season, but they translated the logo as well as Peyo's credit at the end of the intro into Japanese.
