What does your team hope people take away from this Doodle game? Sport: Table tennis! The combination of Tengu and table tennis is not something you'd find in the traditional folktale, but we think it was a fitting combination given the nature of the Tengu, who holds a fan and moves swiftly. We think the fact that they serve as gatekeepers in Japanese culture made it interesting to have them serve as guides in the game. They can be a bit scary given that theyвЂ™re lions, but we love how charming they are in the gameвЂ™s final design. Q: Does your team have any favorite characters or sports that appear in the Doodle? Besides drawing inspiration from stories known across Japan, we also hoped to convey the rich and diverse natural beauty of the country, including underwater, sandy tropical beaches, forests, and snowy mountains. We're pleased that we were able to allude to various stories from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south in the Doodle. Lucky the Ninja Cat, who is both cool and cute, is definitely a favorite aspect! WhatвЂ™s your teamвЂ™s favorite aspect of the Doodle? Each characterвЂ™s design was based on their original story image, but then adapted for the game. The team mascots and the characters in the city such as Kappa, Yatagarasu, lion dance, were also chosen as they are very well known across Japan. In the design process, each event champion was selected from those unique stories.

Next, we connected those folktales and characters with each of the sport events included in the game. Can you tell us about your creative process for adapting each of the characters in the Doodle? Below they share their thoughts behind the making of this Doodle: The cutscene animations and characters for Doodle Champion Island Games were created by Tokyo, Japan-based animation studio, STUDIO4вЊ.
