Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village[1][2] is a spin-off installment in the Monster Hunter series, developed by FromSoftware and published by Capcom for the PlayStation Portable. It was released in Japan on August 26, 2010. The word "airou"[3] is the Japanese equivalent of felyne (Ailuro is the Greek word for cat), a fictional sapient cat species that appears in the Monster Hunter games. The player gives orders to the felynes to progress to the end of quests instead of having direct control over them. The game uses a more cartoonish art style as opposed to the more realistic style seen in the main Monster Hunter games. More emphasis is placed on style and village management. A few Hello Kitty items are also available in the game.

Monster Hunter Diary Poka Poka Airou Village G[4][5] is an expansion pack and was released in August 2011.[6] Monster Hunter Diary Giri Giri Airou Village[7] is a series of ten television shorts developed to help advertise Poka Poka Airou Village. They feature felynes attempting quests and almost invariably failing at them. One episode also has a Chibiterasu cameo. A Nintendo 3DS version of the game, titled Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village DX[8] was released in Japan in 2015.[9]
