In the case where the studio of "Kyoto Animation" in Kyoto City was arrograted,Yasuhiro Takemoto (47), who directed the TV anime "Lucky Star", has lost his awareness. The 76-year-old father said, "I want time to go back before the case," said his feelings for his son.

Mr.Yasuhiro Takemoto was involved in the production of many works in Kyoto Animation, and was directed in the TV anime “Lucky Star” which was broadcasted in 2007 and “sacred place pilgrimage” became a boom.

Mr. Takemoto's father, who lives in Hyogo Prefecture, responded to interviews by NHK on the 21st. Mr. Takemoto's father said, “I was worried about knowing that Kyoto Animation was a fire in the news, but recently I had a lot of business trips, so I thought it would be nice if I was not on the scene. My wife told me, "How much I can not contact my mobile phone and keep it for a while," he said, "I felt hopeless."

Mr. Takemoto always sent an invitation ticket to his parents every time he made a new movie.

"I went to see all the films that sent me an invitation ticket. I'm a son of a kind character. For me, I'm a son who can't do it." On that basis, he said in tears, "I want time to go back to the front of the case if I can do it now, rather than just thinking what I think to the criminal."

Hideaki Hatta, Company president of Kyoto Animation, sent a message to NHK on the night of the 22nd.

"An unprecedented event has damaged irreplaceable companions and lost their lives.

In the news, we learned that an unbelievable number of people around the world are putting our thoughts on us.

Your thoughts are an irreplaceable edge for us now facing the dark.

Now, at this moment too, there are friends who are suffering in the hospital and trying to live the most.

There are people who have lost their family's lives and are in loneliness.

Please give me time for a while.

Kyoto Animation will continue to deliver animation that fosters dreams, hopes and emotions to people all over the world, and is desperately with people who will reach out to realize the happiness of employees and staff and contribute to society and the community. I will fight.

Hideaki Yata, President and Representative Director, Kyoto Animation Co., Ltd.

Last week, Company President Hatta reported that in the news, people from all over the world were watching the incident, finding out that the support movement was spreading, and wanted to send words to those people, and sent a message.

1. Please refrain from interviewing.
   (Company, company employee, employee's family, relatives, bereaved, bereaved friends, related companies, etc.)
2. We have asked the police and the media to "want to refrain from real name reporting".
   (The name announcement of the employee who suffered is given priority to the intention of the family, relatives, and bereaved.)
   (At least, the company will not announce it until the funeral is over.)

I think that is about such content.

The burn itself seems to have recovered almost in January.
However, it seems that the arrest was postponed due to the emergency declaration by the coronavirus.
Aoba seems to have admitted the crime.
At the same time, the claim that the work has been plagiarized has not changed.

Kyoto Animation announced on July 3 that it will deliver a memorial video on the Kyo-ani official channel on YouTube on the 18th, a year after the arson and murder that killed 36 people. It is said to prevent crowding of people who are memorializing at the scene and prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection. I also ask that I refrain from visiting the area around the site of the 1st Studio. Broadcast on the official channel \"KyoaniChannel\" for 10 minutes from 10:30 am when the incident occurred, and carry out silence at 10:35 am. After the end, you can still watch it for 18 days. Kyo-ani said that it is not possible to provide information in advance.

Oh, by the way, the date changed a few minutes ago, and it's been two years since that incident.
There will be a memorial broadcast on KyoAni's channel on You Tube for 10 minutes from 10:30 a.m. Japan time.

However, it seems that coverage of festivals held in the same area takes precedence over the incident in reports for foreign audiences.
There may be an aspect of wanting to change the mood because it was a terrible incident.

Memorial service 5 years after the KyoAni arson incident: “I'm saddened by the loss of someone who was involved in my favorite anime,” said a fan.

On the 18th, it will be five years since the Kyoto Animation studio was set on fire, killing 36 employees.
Prayers were offered at the site in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, and in front of a monument commemorating the incident in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture.

A memorial service at the site of the studio where the incident took place was attended by 144 bereaved family members and staff members, who observed a moment of silence.

On July 18, 2019, Kyoto Animation Studio 1 was set on fire, killing 36 people and seriously injuring 32 others.

On the 14th of this month, a monument was set up in Uji City to tell the story of the incident to future generations, and fans of the works and others offered prayers.

Fans of Kyoto Animation works] “I am very sad that people who were involved in my favorite animations died in the incident. Along with expressing my gratitude, I hope they will continue to do their best in the future.”

Shinji Aoba, 46, who was convicted of murder and other crimes, was sentenced to death in January of this year, but is appealing his sentence.
