Kawakami has been deeply concerned about the declining Japanese animation industry. Since he has been involved with Studio Ghibli and Studio Khara he knows the industry quite well. Also as CTO of Dwango he knows quite well about technology and the open sourcing stuff could be done only by him.

Bravo Kawakami!
