"Everyone is the Star of the Show!" Cartoonette

This is Cartoonette's first Daidogei World Cup. It makes us feel very strange watching her standing on the street as if she just popped out from a cartoon. It was performing other statue performances, however, she wanted to do something different and unique and started this Cartoonette 3 years ago. She saw another performer who did Van Gogh's portrait living statue performance and she came up with the idea of this cartoon character which is very similar to her own. It was surprising that she got costume ideas from Japanese cosplayers.



Ita, who performs all over the world, says she likes to share moments, happiness, and smile with her audience. Through the interaction with the audience, she wants to show the audience each one of them is special. In fact, we could see that she got off from her own stage and brought audience take over the stage.



Ita cannot believe this visit to Japan is actually happening since she grew up watching Japanese anime and always dreamed visiting Japan. She also comments that Japanese audience are very nice and respectful. Why don't you join her dreamy cartoon world with her?
