  • Expanding the content market in the Kansai region centering on Kyoto by supporting the creation of new businesses utilizing manga and anime
  • Supporting the development of creators and creating employment opportunities
  • Attracting new tourists, including young people and foreigners
  • Enhancing the brand power of Kyoto as a content city by transmitting manga and anime culture overseas
