Oha Suta
Oha Suta (おはスタ Oha Suta) is a children's TV show which airs in Japan in the morning on weekdays, and it is produced by TV Tokyo. It premiered in 1997. The main host from 7:05 until 7:30 is Kōichi Yamadera. This show is a remake of "Ohayō Studio" ("Ohayō" meaning "Good Morning"), a similar show that also aired on TV Tokyo from 1979 (back when the network was called "Tokyo 12 Channel") to 1986 (by which time the network renamed to "TV Tokyo"). For this reason, "suta" comes "sutajio", a "Japanicization" of the English word "studio", thus the name "Oha Suta". The show's full title is "Oha Suta: The Super Kids Station".
