A special drone show featuring iconic characters from popular anime is set to enchant audiences during its five-day run on December 23, 24, and 29-31. The event will take place at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, an amusement park in Kanazawa, Yokohama.
At the event's press preview on December 6, approximately 1,000 drones fitted with LED lights danced across the night sky. They created images of characters from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and the Ultraman franchise. Each luminous image spanned an impressive 150 meters in height and 100 meters in width, bringing to life the famous characters in a vibrant array of colors.
Hiroyoshi Uruma, the director overseeing the production, shared his aspirations for the event. "I hope families and friends will come together to create delightful memories as they gaze upon the starry sky," he beamed.
