Industry: Entertainment & Games
Taipei, Taiwan (PRUnderground) March 31st, 2022
Takokuma, the brightly-colored octopus bear, derived its name from “Takao”, the ancient name of the Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung. The octopus bear, who lives on an island, cannot stay in the zoo because it is not on the animal almanac. In the end, he goes on an adventure with Captain 22, the leader of 100 billion rabbits, brother Raccoon, the boss of the apple orchard, and Harry Harry, a sleeping hedgehog. Creator George Tsai developed Takokuma while studying in Kyoto. Lots of cute postcards were made and sold in Kyoto’s handcrafted markets and grocery stores. After returning to Taiwan, he continued to create. Beside local community activities in Taiwan, he has participated in Licensing Expo Japan in Tokyo for three consecutive years. Last year, Takokuma was even voted the most popular character of the Taiwan exhibit zone by Japanese people! Takokuma has a simple design and bright colors, exuding a different kind of charm from other animals. Through Takokuma’s story, the creator hopes to tell everyone that they each have their own unique advantages. Even if you are different or do not conform to modern social norms, all you need to do is stick to your own path. At the same time, the author also hopes that everyone who reads this story can walk their own path in life with more confidence. Takokuma along with other character brands will be showcased at the upcoming 2022 International Licensing Show.
