“ANIMATION × PARALYMPIC: Who Is Your Hero?” is a special series featuring fictional Paralympic athletes depicted in world-renowned Japanese animation. The project aims to introduce new Paralympic sports heroes through attractive characters and stories that will be created by the collaboration of famous comic creators and animation film directors. The series will increase the number of featured sports by 2020. An episode animated by Kyoto Animation was scheduled to be broadcast in August 2019, but was later announced to be cancelled after it was determined production could not be completed in time for the 2020 Paralympic Games due to a tragic arson attack on the studio.
