Nice to meet you. My name is Kanaho Okabe, and I will be working as an animator starting in April.

I recently graduated from high school and moved to Tokyo from Kumamoto Prefecture. I attended a four-year high school, so I am currently 19 years old. Now that drawing in my full-time job, I know I’ll have to work hard and avoid being complacent. After watching some of the anime that my future employers have made, I’m doubtful that I’ll ever be able to draw as stylishly and effortlessly as they do; Every time I practice, I run into new walls, but I’m going give this opportunity everything I have.

There're so many more people in Tokyo than there are in my hometown – I haven’t really acclimated yet. I’m scared that I’m gonna bump into people just walking down the sidewalk. Though, I’m thrilled to report that there’s a market super close to my house, and they sell big, cheap steamed buns! They’re the kind you can quickly heat in the microwave, and they’re delicious, so I imagine they’ll become a regular part of my diet. They’re so big and go bad so fast, though, that I need to be careful when buying them, or else I risk eating steamed buns for every meal. I’ve never had any fellow aspiring animators in my immediate vicinity before, so I’m looking forward to meeting everyone. Though, first, I gotta figure out how to draw cleaner.

Thank you in advance.

初めまして。4月からアニメーターとして働きます、岡部叶歩です。

先日、高校を卒業し、熊本県から上京しました。4年制高校だったので、現在19歳です。

ついに絵を描くことが仕事になるので、のんびりしていられないなと思います。就職先のアニメを見て、こんなにかっこいい絵を描けるようになるだろうかと、かなり不安です。練習をするたびに課題が噴出して大変ですが、頑張ります。

東京は地元に比べ人が多く、まだ慣れません。歩道を歩くだけでぶつかりそうで怖いです。

家からとても近いところにスーパーがあることは、嬉しいです。お安い大きな肉まんが売ってありました。レンジで温めるだけでおいしく頂けるので、重宝しそうです。ただ内容量が多く消費期限が短いので、買うとしばらく毎食肉まん生活になります。

周りにアニメーターを目指す仲間がいなかったので、これからの出会いが楽しみです。まずは線を上手く引けるよう頑張りたいです。

よろしくお願いします。

All the animators who you perceive as drawing effortlessly once struggled to break past all the walls you face and had the same doubt as you. Fight on!
