00:01Building a creative career in manga is possible with persistence, passion and the right mindset.
00:07This is the advice of Japanese manga artist Sanpo Yokoi,
00:11who shared his journey with the media and students at the Nippon Designer School Malaysia College in Subang Jaya on
00:18Saturday,
00:19offering a glimpse into both the struggles and possibilities of the industry.
00:24Yokoi is known for his work on 2022 film Chibi Ham, Juicy and Me.
00:28First of all, there are a lot of young and talented students here,
00:34but not only that, there are a lot of young people here too.
00:38The content industry is the only country in Japan, America, and China.
00:47In Malaysia, the content industry is growing.
00:54For Yokoi, the dream came later in life,
00:57only taking shape in his twenties after joining a university club
01:01and meeting a senior who had won a manga award.
01:04He said breaking into the industry was challenging,
01:07but after more than two decades in this industry,
01:10he stays inspired by remaining curious and exploring different fields beyond manga.
01:16Beyond technical skills, he also believes Malaysia holds untapped potential for Japanese art.
01:43For the students, they shared that early exposure to manga and anime shaped their interest in storytelling and visual art.
01:51with the COVID-19 pandemic further deepening its influence on youth culture in Malaysia.
01:57They believe that despite challenges like artificial intelligence in art,
02:01hand-drawn manga remains valuable for developing skills and pursuing a career in creative fields.
02:07The end of the ัะปััะฐั in the future,
02:09the greatest partnership of this moment is at the moment.
02:10The world's first time for humanity and the nature of our Denise,
02:14they're not such a girl who has made this point.
02:14The world's first time for humanity.
02:15They're not successful.
02:15The world's first time for humanity.
02:16The world's really beautiful.
02:16The world's full time for humanity.
