Haruyoshi Kawai
Executive Director of LightAnimal
LightAnimal is an application that people can experience close encounters with animals. It can display life-size moving images, even massive creatures such as whales, that can move and interact with human observers. Moreover, we believe that LightAnimal may foster respect and empathy for animals.
After obtaining his degree in fisheries sciences, Kawai has pursued a career as a marine mammal illustrator for two decades. His works have featured in numerous aquariums, galleries and museums, and in a wide range of conservation and science-related publications. Kawai created the LightAnimal animation software with the aim of providing a simple, effective, and enjoyable educational tool. He is dedicated to art for biodiversity conservation and environmental education.
