Employment & Debut

• ■Year of Graduation: 2011
• ■Name of Employer: Trigger Inc.
• ■Occupation: Anime Production Assistant Manager

The experiences of senior students have been extremely helpful in my job search! If you believe in yourself and don't give up, keeping at it until the very end, you will definitely see results.

Trigger is a new animation planning and production company established in August of 2011 with Masahiko Otsuka, CEO; Hiroyuki Imaishi, Company Director, and Kazuya Masumoto, all of whom worked on numerous hit productions while working at Gainax. My job search leading up to the offer of employment from Trigger was quite difficult, and there were times when I thought my heart would break. Even still I believed in myself. I thought that if I kept at it until the very end I would certainly see results, and I continued my search for employment. The school career center was extremely helpful as well, introducing me to many companies in both China and Japan. I think that it was thanks to my instructors and fellow students at school that I was finally able to find a job.
