Recently, due to changes in work styles due to the digitalization of the creative industry, an environment is emerging where people can work dispersed across different regions, rather than being
concentrated in Tokyo. The project aims to contribute to anime and Kochi by attempting to solve “future issues of anime” and “Kochi’s future issues” using creative, digital, and local power. The Kochi Anime Creator Sanctuary Project began with a small dream of a small anime production company founded in Kochi and a credit union that supported its establishment. This project, which was launched in January 2022, is now in its third year, and we have received tremendous support from everyone in the anime industry, and as a collaborative project of the Kochi Prefecture Industrial Promotion Plan, the Kochi Prefecture Anime Project Promotion Council, which is an all-Kochi collaboration between industry, academia, government, and finance, has received tremendous support from everyone in the anime industry. Thanks to the support of the Shinkin Central Bank and many other Shinkin Banks in the financial industry, encounters and exchanges through anime are occurring in Kochi. The number of young people working in anime in Kochi is steadily increasing. This is all thanks to everyone who sympathizes with and supports Kochi’s small efforts, and we are deeply grateful. Initiatives of Kochi Shinkin Bank and Regional Future Foundation Kochi Shinkin Bank is working on the Kochi Anime Creator Sanctuary Project as part of its 100th anniversary project, based on the “Agreement on Collaboration and Cooperation to Promote the Kochi Anime Creator Sanctuary Project” concluded with Kochi Prefecture, Kochi City, Nangoku City, and Susaki City. I’m here. By concentrating the power of anime in Kochi and creating
relationships with anime creators, we will do our best to contribute to solving Kochi’s local issues. The “Regional Future Foundation” is based on the management philosophy of “Creating people, creating profits, and giving back to society” of Kochi Shinkin Bank Honorary Life Chairman Masao Yamamoto, and is dedicated to the sustainable development of the local community by supporting Kochi Prefecture, municipalities within the prefecture, and organizations. We are a public interest incorporated foundation whose purpose is to support business activities that are recognized as having a public interest, and to contribute to the promotion and development of local
communities. Information about the Kochi Anime Creator Award, Kochi Anikuri Festival, and Kochi Anime Creator Sanctuary Project is also being disseminated on SNS. Please follow us and thank you for your support. Instagram , X , Website
