Bringing Japanese Animation Excellence to India: KONNEKT ASIA & Éclat Animal
KONNEKT ASIA, through its exclusive partnership with the renowned Japanese animation studio Éclat Animal (formerly Animaru-Ya), is thrilled to introduce a premium portfolio of copyrighted Manga and Anime assets to the Indian market. Under the creative supervision of the legendary Toshiyuki Honda—a pioneering animator whose credits include iconic works such as Doraemon, Lupin the Third, and Star of the Giants—we are opening doors for world-class storytelling and character licensing.
We are actively seeking Production Houses, TV Channels, and OTT Platforms across India to collaborate on bringing these high-value Japanese intellectual properties (IP) to the massive Indian audience.
The Power of the Portfolio
- A Legacy of Icons: Access characters and stories developed by Toshiyuki Honda, a veteran with over five decades of experience who helped shape the visual language of modern Japanese animation.
- Vast IP Repository: A robust library of pre-developed characters, storyboards, and completed anime productions ready for licensing and distribution.
- Hyper-Localization & Customization: Unlike rigid IPs, our characters and narratives can be tailored to reflect Indian ethnicity, local languages, and regional public sentiments, ensuring a deep emotional connection with the local demographic.
- Bespoke Creation: Beyond our existing repository, our team of veteran animators in Japan can develop entirely new characters and storylines specifically designed for the Indian market’s unique tastes.
Strategic Collaboration Models
- Content Licensing: Direct rights for TV broadcasting and OTT streaming of existing Éclat Animal productions.
- Character Merchandising: Licensing of copyrighted characters for consumer goods, apparel, and digital gaming.
- Joint Productions: Collaborative “Co-Pro” ventures where KONNEKT ASIA and Éclat Animal provide the technical animation expertise (Japan) while Indian partners provide local narrative context and distribution.
- Crowdfunded & Independent Projects: Mirroring the success of projects like Kaze no Yō ni, we are open to innovative funding and production models for artistic and independent animated films.
Why Choose This Partnership?
Technical Superiority: Benefit from the “Golden Age” of Japanese hand-drawn and digital animation techniques that have a proven global track record.
- Cultural Bridge: KONNEKT ASIA acts as the single-window liaison, translating the high standards of Japanese production into the fast-paced requirements of the Indian entertainment industry.
- Scalable Content: From short-form digital content for social media to full-length feature films and episodic TV series.
KONNEKT ASIA invites forward-thinking media leaders to explore this unprecedented opportunity to merge Japanese animation mastery with Indian storytelling scale.
