The guest for the 50th Oyako Day Online Talk Live is Junko Kitazawa, Public Relations Manager at Tsuburaya Productions.
Kitazawa joined Tsuburaya Productions in 1996. After working in new business development and licensing, she helped establish the company’s public relations department in 2008 and currently serves as its PR Manager.
She is also a core member of the Ultraman Foundation, established following the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 to support children today and in the future. Through the foundation, she continues to be involved in initiatives supporting disaster-affected communities and children living with serious illnesses.
Kitazawa has also been a longtime supporter and partner of Oyako Day, working closely with us over the years and helping the project grow into what it is today.
This July marks a major milestone: the 60th anniversary of the Ultraman Series, celebrated through a wide range of commemorative projects and events.
Together with Kitazawa, we’ll look back on the journey of Oyako Day, revisit some memorable moments, and share behind-the-scenes stories that only someone who has helped nurture the project over so many years could tell.
We hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a warm and enjoyable conversation!
