Cardano NFT undertaking: Kabuki Tokyo
Cardano NFT undertaking Kabuki Tokyo goals to create a strong mental property
Hey, welcome. Please introduce your group, the place are you from, what are your backgrounds?
The group consists of virtually all members from Japan. I’m Yuri and I’m a CNFT fanatic and an energetic member of the Japan Cardano Group. I’ve been a producer of Pokémon occasions, and our CTO Hayatti is among the well-known NFT influencers in Japan.
Shima Enaga is our creator and has been a character designer of Konami Digital Leisure and he or she is a profitable artist within the Ethereum area. ADA NinjaZ helps us market our undertaking to the West.
We’re thus composed of Japanese who’ve succeeded in Ethereum and who’ve a deep connection to Cardano and CNFT.
What’s Kabuki Tokyo? How are you using NFTs and why have you ever chosen Cardano?
Kabuki Tokyo is an anime NFT undertaking that goals to create a strong IP (Mental Property) with the robust worldwide group of Cardano, the Japanese NFT group, and a confirmed Japanese artist and manufacturing group.
On the core of this IP are our 5 characters from utterly totally different backgrounds. Every of them was born in a special place, however ended up in Tokyo Roppongi, the place they’re bounty hunters as hackers referred to as Kabuki Mono. By changing into Kabuki Mono, they’re making an attempt to do what they suppose is correct. They’re making an attempt to make a spot for themselves by pursuing justice, whereas cooperating with and deceiving one another.
We’ll present our NFT holders with governance to find out the content material of the undertaking and to take part in occasions. We will even onboard many Japanese artists sooner or later in order that our NFT holders can have entry to the work of Japanese artists who migrate to Cardano.

We selected Cardano due to its solidity, security, and good environmental efficiency. And in addition due to the group that Cardano has, an environment that’s inclusive of individuals of all races and that may develop in cooperation with different initiatives, which is strictly what we thought can be acceptable for creating IP by a world group.
How do Japanese individuals view crypto and blockchain? How are you planning to carry extra Japanese NFT followers to Cardano?
In Japan, many individuals nonetheless view crypto and blockchain as one thing doubtful. Nevertheless, with the current announcement that a big Japanese firm has determined to undertake Cardano’s Atala PRISM know-how to conduct a Japanese government-led DID demonstration, I consider that individuals’s attitudes will regularly change.
NFT followers in Japan are rising, with many initiatives which have just lately been minted coming within the prime 100 of OpenSea by way of day by day buying and selling quantity. That is stunning contemplating that nearly completely Japanese NFT initiatives in Japan are bought by virtually solely Japanese individuals.
And thru this undertaking, we hope that many creators will even publish NFT on Cardano. We might additionally prefer to companion with profitable Japanese initiatives in Ethereum and with different organizations and firms in promotion and different actions to encourage them to enter the CNFT by our initiatives. So now we’re working to make massive information in Japan by doing social actions with our companions and organizing occasions with our companion initiatives.
What excites you essentially the most about bringing NFT know-how into the manga and anime world? In what methods will this innovation contain the viewers and followers?
Our NFTs serves as a operate of governance. Till now, manga and anime have been created by a restricted variety of proficient individuals and minds, akin to editors and mangaka at publishing corporations. By utilizing the governance operate of NFTs, we are going to create a brand new type of worldwide IP that includes the enter of many individuals’s brains and cultural backgrounds.

It’s particularly costly to provide animation. However with the brand new funding methodology utilizing NFTs, and as our group grows, there will likely be many sponsors for the group. As group members get pleasure from every NFT assortment and community-driven IP improvement, it could be really fantastic if we may create one thing that the group may think about their very own anime by a confirmed Japanese anime firm.
