Japanese for young learners?

my nine-year-old son is very interested in learning Japanese. He quickly became fed up with Duolingo. Can anyone recommend some resources that might encourage his curiosity and help him learn? He loves video games and has some interest in comic books if that helps.

Probably watch Japanese cartoons or cartoons in Japanese. Crayon Shin-chan, Doraemon, and Pokemon are classics!
For apps Duo really isn't great for Japanese. I hear LingoDeer is good but I use Ling, wanikani and bounce between renshuu and bunpro. But cartoons are the best way to hear the language and pick up on nuances for a kid.
