The Di Gi Charat Natsuyasumi Special was another four episode series set in America that aired almost a year after the original series from August 2, 2001 to August 3, 2001. The young American otaku, Rodoyan, is introduced in this series.
• Natsuyasumi Special Episode 1 - Dejiko in America 1
• Natsuyasumi Special Episode 2 - Dejiko in America 2
When Puchiko wanted to get off a bus she couldn't reach the signal button, and the driver (looks just like Abarenbou) kept accelerating until reaching America. Soon Dejiko received a letter from Rod Young, an American boy and a big fan of Dejiko who let Puchiko stay with him, inviting Dejiko to America to visit them and pick Puchiko up.
• Natsuyasumi Special Episode 3 - Depurapyogebo Debut
A contest of bands was about to be held at Akihabara; the first prize is 10-year supply of nattou, Dejiko's favorite food. She decided to enroll but couldn't find enough members or instruments.
• Natsuyasumi Special Episode 4 - Isn`t Anyone Here-nyo?
Dejiko and gangs of Gamers went to the mountains, but when night fell people began to disappear one by one.

Where it came from
Di Gi Charat: Summer Vacation Specials were released in 2001 as part of the broader Di Gi Charat media franchise, which originated from a mascot character created by Koge-Donbo for the Gamers retail chain in Japan. Produced by the studio Broccoli and animated by Madhouse, these specials were designed to capitalize on the character's explosive popularity during the late 1990s and early 2000s, serving as a lighthearted extension of the main anime series that focused on the daily antics of Dejiko and her companions.
The character design remains quintessential to the late 90s 'moe' aesthetic, characterized by oversized accessories and distinct, expressive facial features. Created by Koge-Donbo, the visuals were intended to be instantly recognizable and marketable, aiming to drive traffic to Gamers stores. Upon release, these specials were well-received by the dedicated otaku audience of the era, cementing Dejiko as an iconic figure in Japanese pop culture and demonstrating the successful transition of a retail mascot into a standalone animated star.
