Nippon TV announced the creation of a new department within its IBD division.
The newly launched Anime Department will be led by Kako Kuwahara (pictured), who has been promoted to executive vice president of Business Development. She previously served as managing director of IBD. The first international project coming out of the new department is TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy-, produced by C2C Studios and distributed by Nippon TV.
Keiichi Sawa, operating officer and president of Business Development for Nippon TV, commented, “For many years, anime has been a forte of Nippon TV and we have been producing hit anime series such as Lupin the 3rd, Death Note, HUNTER X HUNTER, and many more. But now the time is ideal for us to create a department solely focused on anime as this genre is loved by so many around the world. We will be producing and distributing coveted anime series domestically, as well as internationally, and Kako Kuwahara is the ideal executive to head up this department.”
