Kobe City and the Executive Committee of Animation Kobe, Chairperson Mr. Akira Kamiya (Voice Actor) held “Animation Kobe,” which promoted ICT industries including digital audio-visual industry since 1995, integrating animation culture and digital technology.
“Animation Kobe” has been a symbol of informatization for the Kobe area and has distributed digital content over Japan.
“Animation Kobe” has honored commercial animation itself, as well as world renowned Anime-creators and people who have contributed to the animation industry over the years.
In addition, “Animation Kobe” encourages students to create animation and also provides many people with opportunities such as “Web Animation Contest”, for creating animation,“Digital Creators Contest”,for advice from professional directors and“Practical Workshop”,for professional skills. With those opportunities, Kobe Animation has worked hard on developing human resources for creators.
We are planning various kinds of events including “Kobe Animation Award”ceremony to build up community excitement in Kobe. We will rebroadcast those events via both Internet and on demand not only in Japan but also all over the world.
