The original action-adventure animated series “Kiya & The Kimoja Heroes” is a girl-led superhero show that combines everyday passions with extraordinary powers. Kiya is a brand-new kind of kid superhero and comes from the fictional Kimoja City, inspired by southern Africa. Kiya’s primary loves include mashing up her passions of dance and martial arts into routines and having fun with her family and friends. But unlike most kids, Kiya’s dance and martial arts prowess become her superpowers when she puts on her headband adorned with mystical Kimoja crystals, transforming her into “Dance Ninja” and giving her the ability to perform signature moves like the “pirouette POW”. Always at Kiya’s side are her best friends and fellow Kimojans, Jay, also known by his superhero name “Flying Rockstar”, and Motsie, also known by her superhero name “Tech Racer”. Together they are the team of superheroes known as The Kimoja Heroes.
Developed by Robert Vargas and based on characters created by South Africans Kelly Dillon and Marc Dey, the series is produced by eOne, Triggerfish and Frog Box, in partnership with Disney Junior and France Télévisions. The series is based on an original concept from South African-based production company Triggerfish and developed for Television by Frog Box and eOne.
