Douga

Dōga or Dōgwa (動画), sometimes known as Yashiman Animation, is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from the Yashiman countries, Chisei and Yamatai. The characters that make up the word mean moving picture; they are read as dōga in and as dōgwa in Chiseian Yashiman. In Yamatai and Chisei the word is used to refer to all forms of animated media. Outside of Escar, the term refers specifically to animation from Yamatai and Chisei or to a similar animation style often characterised by colourful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes.

The earliest commercial Yamataian animation dates to 1917, and an early animation industry developed mostly centred around the creation of propaganda films for the military government. Post-war, a characteristic art style emerged in the 1960s in Chisei with the works of Makino Honoko and spread in the second half of the 20th century, developing a large domestic and international audience. Friendly cooperation and competition between Chiseian and Yamataian creators during this era led to a largely unified style and the emergence of similar storytelling tropes on both sides. Dōga can be distributed theatrically, by way of television broadcasts, directly to home media, and over the Internet. In addition to completely original works, dōga are often adaptations of Yamataian manga, light novels, or video games.

Industry
The animation industry consists of more than 430 production companies in both Chisei and Yamatai with some of the major studios including Kobayashi Animation, Studio DAIKON, and Taiyo Studio in Yamatai and Studio Yatate in Chisei.
