マイリトルポニー〜トモダチは魔法〜

TV Tokyo
マイリトルポニー〜トモダチは魔法〜 debuted on TV Tokyo in Japan on April 2, 2013. The first two seasons were broadcast in both Japanese and English. It featured numerous formatting changes and cuts, such as a completely redone opening theme, another opening theme that replaced the first one starting with the show's fourteenth episode, a third opening theme that replaced the second starting with the fortieth episode, a closing theme, and a second closing theme that replaced the first one in the show's twenty-seventh episode, with new background visuals to accompany the second closing starting with the thirty-second episode.

Both closing themes contain two segments. The first is called "Ponies' Gallery", which displays clips of the characters Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, the three Cutie Mark Crusaders, Zecora, and Cheerilee. It does not change from episode to episode. The second is a preview of the next episode that displays clips and the title of the next episode.

The dub completed its run with two seasons on March 25, 2014.

Little Pony TV
Little Pony TV is a short live-action segment inserted before closing credits in the Japanese version of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. The segment is presented by Suzuko Mimori, who also voices Pinkie Pie and sings the first intro theme for the Japanese version. The segment features Mimori and Twilight Sparkle talking, and ends with a segment called "Lucky Pony Slot", which functions like a slot machine, and picks a different character each episode.

Best Selection
Beginning April 1, 2014, TV Tokyo ran a rebroadcast of select Friendship Is Magic episodes called "My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Best Selection". The rebroadcasted episodes were largely unchanged from their initial premiere on TV Tokyo, but the run included a fourth opening theme and used the extended version of the English theme song as its closing theme. The ending sequence's "Ponies' Gallery" also includes Princess Celestia.

Disney Channel
Starting September 1, 2018, the Japanese dub aired on Disney Channel in Japan, with episodes 1 to 5 being broadcast on continuous loop and regular broadcasts beginning on September 3, 2018 from Mondays to Fridays at.

The dub continued with season 3, which aired on Dlife starting August 3, 2019. The format of the Japanese dub from that point on hews much closer to the English original. For instance, the extended opening and closing themes, as well as the Little Pony TV ending segment, are all done away with. The opening theme is now a dub of the original English opening, while the closing is the equivalent of what the English closing theme is. Additionally, the episodes no longer feature time cuts. There are also no longer Japanese credits for the ending: the credits are left in English.

The fourth season aired on November 2, 2019, and ran until March 28, 2020, when the dub entered a hiatus.
