Cool Japan Fund decided to invest maximum 450 million yen for KADOKAWA Contents Academy towards the expansion into twelve countries and regions mainly in Asia, as well as in Europe and Australia.  \nKADOKAWA Contents Academy will also receive additional investment from its parent company, KADOKAWA, as well as from Kinokuniya Company Ltd. and Pasona Group Inc.. These companies will cooperate in local promotional activities, human resources management activities including the support of job placement for graduates of the academy, and other initiatives.  \nGraduates of the Academy are expected to contribute to Japan’s content industry in various ways, including making their professional debut in Japan, taking up employment with content providers and other content-related companies, and taking on the active role of a local partner in international joint production and localization.  \nThrough this project, Cool Japan Fund aims to establish a platform for human resource development that supports the overseas expansion of Japan’s content industry.
