Kansai-based broadcaster Yomiuri TV takes to the stage at TIFFCOM in Tokyo at the end of October to talk about its new anime co-pro – “Pino & Shinoby” – with Italian animation studio Studio Bozzetto. The series will be broadcast in both Japan and Italy and is domestic character Shinoby’s global debut.

The collaboration conversation at TIFFCOM, which runs from 29-31 October, forms part of Japan’s broader strategic initiative to strengthen cross-border partnerships and expand its global industry footprint.

The anime conversation continues across the rest of the event in Tokyo as part of the government’s drive to quadruple the size of overseas markets from ¥4.7 trillion/US$31 billion to ¥20 trillion/US$131.6 billion by 2033.

The conference also includes a seminar organised by The Association of Japanese Animations looking at key factors driving the growth of the Japanese animation industry and its outlook.
