Guest Artist Q&A with STUDIO4degC



The cutscene animations and characters for Doodle Champion Island Games were designed by Tokyo Animation Studio, a Japanese studio, STUDIO4degC. They share their thoughts on the making of this Doodle below:

We first identified folktales and stories from all over the country with characters that are widely recognized. Then, we linked these folktales to the respective sport events. The design process involved each event champion was selected from those original stories. Because they are well-known in Japan, the team mascots as as the characters of the city, like Yatagarasu and lion dancing and Kappa were also chosen. Each character's design was based upon the original story and then modified for the game.




Q. Q.

Lucky the Ninja Cat, who is cute and cool, is definitely a favorite aspect!



We are delighted to be in a position to draw inspiration from stories from Hokkaido, in the north, to Okinawa, in the south, in our Doodle. We also took inspiration from stories from Japan. We wanted to show the country's diverse natural beauty which includes beaches, forests, and snowy mountains.




Q. Do you have any characters or sports in the Doodle?

Character The stone guardians. They can be a bit intimidating considering they're lions, however we love how cute they are in the game's final design. We believe that the fact that they serve as gatekeepers in Japanese culture was interesting to have them serve as guides in the game.



Table tennis! The combination of Tengu and table tennis isn't something you'd find in a traditional folktale, but we think it was a good match due to the nature of the Tengu, who holds an air-tight fan and moves swiftly.




Q. What do you hope your team's people will take away from this Doodle game?

First, we hope people take pleasure in the game and make it through! But also convey that when they complete the mini games, Lucky brings happiness in the form of flowers and dangos...which will be a gift to all people in the world! Also, only Champions can appreciate how hard Lucky worked. We want to prove that joy can be found from the effort and focus of each of us, which is not often recognized by others.
