Sushi Pack is a Canadian-American animated television series produced by DIC Entertainment and American Greetings, that aired on the KEWLopolis block on CBS from November 3, 2007 to September 12, 2009. The show features a team of anthropomorphic wasabi, salmon egg sushi, crab sushi, tuna sushi, and octopus sushi as they use their wits and their emotions to save the world and educate young children. The Sushi Pack team lives in a donut shop with their human friend, Ben. Despite the superhero element of the show, violence is used only as a last resort. The closing theme song of the show is a techno/rap/funk hybrid song written by Phofo, composer for the entire series. Quests involve learning about the meaning of friendship, social skills, and teamwork.
Sushi Pack was the last television series to be produced by DIC Entertainment, before shutting down in 2008 and folding into Cookie Jar Entertainment, which produced the second and final season.

He is usually calm, but tends to feel an urge to compete with his teammates, causing tension within the group. The show hints that he has a crush on Kani. Ikura also has a fear of bears, including gummy bears. He is voiced by Andrew Francis.
