KyoAni President: “Kyoto Animation Will Not Give Up”
Kyoto Animation posted a message on their website “to everyone in the world” on July 29, 2019. The statement was posted in Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, and German. That message reads:
An unprecedented atrocity has robbed many of our friends and colleagues of their bright futures and has left many deeply injured.
News from all over the world tells us that amazingly many number of people has sent us their hearts and prayers, which are like candles in the darkness, for those of us trapped in the darkness of deepest grief.
There are many friends and colleagues who are hospitalized and suffering, fighting for their lives.
Please give us some time.
We promise that Kyoto Animation will continue to create animation that help people have dreams, hope and impress them.
Kyoto animation will continue to make its employees and staff lead happy lives, and contribute to society and local community.
I assure you that Kyoto Animation will not give up, we will not go quietly into the night…we will not vanish without a fight!
Kyoto Animation Co. CEO Hideaki Hatta
Notably, in this statement, Kyoto Animation President Hideaki Hatta thanked the world for their support, requested that everyone give the studio time, and promised that Kyoto Animation would continue to create animation.
This statement follows a horrific fire at Kyoto Animation’s 1st Studio building in Kyoto Japan, killing 35 people and injuring 33 others on July 18. A 41-year-old man was arrested as a suspect and the fire is being investigated as arson.
This suspected attack was the largest massacre in Japan since the Myojo 56 building fire in 2001, which claimed 44 lives, and the second-largest overall since World War II.
