Regarding this initiative to become the sole local agent in Vietnam for merchandising and events related to CRAYON SHINCHAN, Yuya Okamoto, CEO of NewGates, stated as follows:
“In my childhood, just like everyone else, I grew up watching CRAYON SHINCHAN with my family every Friday night. Those are fun memories from my childhood that have stayed with me for many years.
This time, I am very honored to be able to share new joy related to CRAYON SHINCHAN with everyone here in Vietnam. Since NewGates began distributing the CRAYON SHINCHAN theatrical films in cinemas in Vietnam from 2023, we have received positive responses from everyone, and we feel extremely happy about this.
We believe that movie theaters filled with audiences, voices of carefree laughter, and the excitement of CRAYON SHINCHAN conversations on social media with each annual film release are proof of the endless appeal of CRAYON SHINCHAN. This became the trigger that strengthened our determination: that we at NewGates will contribute to delivering CRAYON SHINCHAN more widely, and to helping more people come to love CRAYON SHINCHAN even more.”
