CSTOYS' Commitment to Supporting Disaster-Affected Communities

At CSTOYS, we have a history of supporting communities affected by natural disasters. In the past, we organized donation drives to assist victims of various calamities. Our commitment to aiding those in need remains steadfast, and this time, our focus is on Wajima City, which continues to struggle with the aftermath of the devastating 2024 Noto Earthquake.

Our Upcoming Initiative: Supporting Wajima City's Earthquake Recovery

On New Year's Day of 2024, Wajima City was struck by a massive earthquake, causing widespread destruction to homes, businesses, and cultural landmarks. Among the losses was the Go Nagai Memorial Museum, dedicated to the legendary manga artist known for works such as Mazinger Z and Devilman. The museum was completely destroyed in a fire following the earthquake, symbolizing not only the physical losses but also the deep cultural impact of this disaster.

Now, more than a year later, not only the museum but the entire Wajima community is still struggling with the ongoing "day-after" situation. Recovery is slow, and many residents continue to face immense challenges in rebuilding their lives.

To bring attention to Wajima’s recovery and share its resilience with the world, we are stepping out of our office for the first time ever to host a special live edition of The Alternative Show from the disaster-affected area. This initiative aims to raise awareness and support for Wajima’s people, industries, and cultural heritage.
