Rough & Peace Mother

Yoshimoto Kogyo and NTT announced the launch of “Rough & Peace Mother,” a platform for global distribution of educational content.
The project, which is launching with a 10 billion yen investment from the Cool Japan Organization, held a press conference today.
The educational content is centered on “play and learning”—an approach CANVAS has long been committed to—and will be produced by Producer Komatsu of “Chico-chan.”
With this powerhouse team—Yoshimoto Chairman Osaki, NTT President Sawada, and Cool Japan Organization President Kitagawa—I’m excited to see what kind of exceptional “Learning of Tomorrow” will emerge.
