2024/12/11

Kiva Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kota Nojiri, hereinafter referred to as Kiva) is pleased to announce that it has contracted as an official partner for Dogenjers, a serious special effects hero production set in Fukuoka, featuring real-life heroes from Kyushu.

 

◾️Background of the Dogenjers Official Partnership Agreement

Our company was founded in Kanagawa Prefecture and currently has its headquarters in Tokyo. We aspire to expand 'UniWeb', which delivers equal websites for everyone, to the people and businesses in Kyushu.
This time, we deeply resonated with Dogenjers' mission to 'make Fukuoka and the entire nation smile!' and decided to enter into an official sponsorship agreement.

Our web accessibility tool 'UniWeb' enables everyone, including the elderly and people with disabilities, to correctly understand and use information on websites. Through various accessibility features such as voice reading, text size adjustment, and contrast changes, we aim for Dogenjers' activities and messages from Kyushu to reach more people and be enjoyed equally.

 

◾️What is Dogenjers?

Dogenjers is a serious special effects hero production set in Fukuoka, created by 'real heroes' from Kyushu. It started broadcasting its first season in 2020 and has continued with a pace of one season per year, culminating in the announcement of the fifth season's broadcast beginning in July 2024 after the second, third, and fourth seasons. It operates not just as a TV program but also in real events like hero shows, mainly in Kyushu.

▼Book Introduction
‘Hero Marketing that Led a Local Pharmacy to Become the Largest in the Prefecture’
Author: Takahiro Oka

This book depicts the challenge of the fifth-generation president of a long-established pharmacy chain in Fukuoka, who revitalized business through 'Hero Marketing' using a unique character, 'Pharmaceutical Warrior Orgaman'. Amidst a regional economy facing issues of a decreasing birthrate and outflow of young people to urban areas, the author implemented bold reforms that dramatically increased corporate recognition through social media and local events. As a result, sales increased by 1.5 times and recurring profits grew more than five times, strengthening ties with the local community. The book presents practical know-how about Hero Marketing, structured in two parts: storytelling and commentary, making it a valuable read for entrepreneurs aiming to strengthen their regional brand.

◾️What is UniWeb?

UniWeb provides web accessibility features "on the day of deployment" by simply adding a single line of code to all web services.

In order to achieve equal website services for all, we want to put users in various situations, such as those with visual impairments or those who temporarily lose the use of their hands due to injury, in a position to understand correct information through various uses such as voice reading and contrast changes.

 

◾️What is Web Accessibility?

It is not a special accommodation only for the disabled or elderly, but anyone can be in the same situation as a disabled person.

• Temporary injury or illness (e.g., car accident with arm in cast and unable to use arm, eye disease with eye patch and blindness, etc.)
• Age-related changes
• Age-related vision loss (presbyopia, lens changes (yellowish, dark, blurred vision, etc.))
• Eye diseases common in middle-aged and older adults (cataracts, glaucoma, etc.)
  *About half of the patients in their late 70s have cataracts with yellowing changes.
• Age-related hearing loss
• Foreign travelers (if a foreigner who does not understand Japanese is struck by an earthquake while traveling, can he/she obtain evacuation information, etc.)
