Visuals:

Startup: There is a number of scanlines that move forward with the words "JOMX-TV" (analog) or "JOMX-DTV" (digital) and Tokyo MX's corporate name at the bottom. Then, the bars open up to reveal Yume Lion (a lion with a colorful mane) spinning as it forms itself. As the lion forms fully, he later meows. After that, the "TOKYO MX" wordmark forms in multiple rainbow colors on the bottom of Yume Lion before fading to black.

Closedown: On a white background, there is Yume Lion as he starts to sleep while the background slowly fades to black. Then, Yume Lion yawns while the "TOKYO MX" wordmark forms at the bottom after the lion stops spinning. After that, the words "JOMX-TV" (analog) or "JOMX-DTV" (digital) and Tokyo MX's corporate name at the bottom appear before fading to black.

Audio

Startup: A synth scanline theme.

Closedown: A twilight music box theme.

Variants:

There also exists some special variants for the identity, such as one where Yume Lion is seen chasing frogs and other where Yume Lion opens a sentient chest and then gets eaten, only to come out of it. Others can be found on Tokyo MX's official YouTube account.
- The special chest ident is used in the 20th anniversary of the TV channel.
Another variant is also used where Yume Lion spins before halting to a stop and "TOKYO MX".

Technique: Cartoon-style CGI using Alias Maya.

Audio: A childish xylophone and Yume Lion's voice. In one of the special variants, the lion's chest growls.
