An incident of possible child labor or a bizarre hoax in the ongoing 2024 anime Isekai Onsen Paradise has caught the attention of several major industry figures, including One Piece animation director Mamoru Yokota and Dragon Ball movie director Yoshihiro Ueda.An animator on X (formerly Twiter) called @_kanamemadoka_ (hereby referred to as Kaname) sparked controversy after an incident on Isekai Onsen Paradise led to concerns over her age. Her claims, currently unproven, are summarized below. Despite purporting to be 14 years old, Kaname worked for her uncle who had received work from Wolfsbane — the studio co-animating the Isekai Onsen Paradise anime. After submitting the work, Kaname realized that she wouldn’t be credited because a production staff member from the studio had double-booked that specific cut. Therefore, another animator who had also drawn the same scene would be credited instead. Kaname says she was being unfairly treated because she was new and received a warning from the production staff member via DMs after calling them out multiple times on X.Ueda, who directed Dragon Ball Z’s ninth feature film, Bojack Unbound, said he didn’t know if the rumors were true but denounced the possible practice. “Some people in the world have misunderstood that it is not enough to be good at drawing,” he said, “but you must know the true nature of things and people. To do so, I think it is necessary to study life and experience in addition to the study of painting.” Yokota, an outspoken One Piece animation director on Stampede, Film: Red and for numerous episodes from the “Wano” arc, said he lost interest because it had gotten too long to follow. Nevertheless, he sympathized with Kaname, saying, “Adults are horrible. I say that, but we all become them one day.”
