Created the animation for “Kuma Toki wa,” broadcast on ETV’s Utatte Manabo.
I was in charge of character design, direction, and backgrounds.
The content teaches three kinds of measures:
measures to take if you encounter a bear,
measures to avoid coming across one,
and measures to prevent bears from entering town.
The aim was to convey these measures in a fun, approachable way, so that children can actually reenact them from the video and learn how people and bears can coexist in their respective environments.
