"Tsumori Gecko" - A short anime from NHK that can be enjoyed by both children and adults

"Tsumori Gecko" is a short animated film that was broadcast on NHK Educational TV in April 2015. The film aims to provide viewers with laughter and emotion in just two minutes. Although the original work is listed as "other," it is an original work with no specific original work, and the characters and images were created by Teruhiro Kobayashi and Keisuke Kamiya.

Story and Characters

"Tsuri Gecko" is a story about a gecko character. Gecko is a humorous character who uses the word "tsumori" (pretending to be) a lot and tries to get by with everything. The story depicts how this gecko repeatedly uses "tsumori" in various situations, confusing and making people around him laugh.

For example, there is a scene where Gecko says, "Today is going to be a sports day," but actually does nothing, and another scene where Gecko says, "I'm going to be hungry," but doesn't eat. These scenes convey the message to children that it is important to not just "pretend," but to actually take action.

Visuals and Music

The visuals were created by Keisuke Kamiya, and are simple yet colorful, with designs that will catch children's attention. The backgrounds are bright, and the characters' movements are humorous, making for a visual treat. Music also plays an important role, with light-hearted melodies that liven up the story. In particular, the music creates a comical atmosphere in the scene where Yamori repeatedly says "tsumori."

Educational value

"Tsumori Gecko" has an educational element that conveys the message to children that it is important to not only "intentionally" do something, but also to actually take action. For example, in a scene where Gecko says he is "going to study" but actually does nothing, the show teaches viewers that it is important to not only "intentionally" do something, but also to actually take action. Such educational messages contribute to children's development and are also beneficial for parents and teachers.

Children in particular are drawn to the gecko's humorous character and the word "intoshiki" (to intend), and can watch the show with a laugh.

Additionally, there are many posts on social media quoting scenes from "Tsuru Gecko," making it a place for communication with viewers.
