Program Overview
*Please note: This workshop will be conducted in Japanese.*
Kazuya Kanehisa, initially active as a cartoon researcher, later began producing animations based on his research findings, modernly reinterpreting past visual languages. He quickly gained widespread recognition for his work on the music video for Kocchi no Kento's "Hai Yorokonde."
In this workshop, Kazuya Kanehisa will provide guidance and practical exercises for creating "modern" character designs. Following a brief lecture by the instructor, each participant will attempt their own designs. The session will conclude with presentations by the participants and a feedback session with the instructor for tips on improvement.
*Note: Participants are required to bring their own devices or tools, such as a tablet PC or analog drawing materials. Please note that these will not be provided by the festival. (Power outlets are available at the venue.)

Instructor: Kazuya Kanehisa
Born in 2001. Having loved Japanese TV animation and American animated shorts since early childhood, they have since developed a strong interest in classic cartoons from the 1920s to the 1950s, as well as Japanese animation from the 1960s and 1970s. They began producing animations in 2022. Their animations, which depict modern society with a flavor of the Showa 30s and 40s (the late 1950s to 1970s), have generated significant buzz. Representative works include the music video for Kocchi no Kento's "Hai Yorokonde" and the NHK Minna no Uta song "Tomodachi no Tomodachi."
