XANA (CEO: XANARIO), an AI x Web3.0 Metaverse platform, in collaboration with Tezuka Productions Co., Ltd. (President: Takayuki Matsutani, hereinafter referred to as “Tezuka Productions”) and J&J Business Creation Co., Ltd. (President: Yasuyuki Mori, hereinafter referred to as “J&J Business Creation”), a joint venture of JTB Corporation and JCB Co., Ltd., has announced a partnership with Ehime Prefecture for the fourth installment of the “Learn While You Play” Game NFT series in the Web TCG 3.0 game “NFTDUEL” on the Metaverse platform “XANA,” themed around regional revitalization.
This NFT will be available for purchase on XANA’s Metaverse-compatible NFT marketplace, “XANA NFT.”
This NFT project brings together the globally influential manga and anime content from Tezuka Productions, the regional revitalization expertise and local government network of J&J Business Creation, and XANA’s blockchain technology, Metaverse, and Web3.0 gaming capabilities. The project aims to support regional economies through the creation and global release of NFTs that can be used in Web3.0 games within the Metaverse.
Users will be able to own NFTs that capture the charm and culture of various regions of Japan as personal assets, and they can use these to play games or trade cards for profit.
In an era where new digital assets are rapidly gaining global traction with the rise of NFTs, and new lifestyles and business styles are emerging with the expansion of the Metaverse, unconstrained by physical distance, this project represents a groundbreaking approach.
By creating new, uniquely Japanese intellectual properties (IP) and allowing both domestic and international audiences to rediscover and enjoy the charm of Japan’s regions, this project aims to stimulate the resurgence of inbound tourism demand in the post-COVID era. At the same time, a portion of the sales will be donated to support regional revitalization through tourism promotion, realizing an innovative form of regional support through the cooperation of these three companies.
4th Collaboration Region: Ehime Prefecture
For the fourth installment of the Japan-based local collaboration series, a partnership with Ehime Prefecture has been confirmed. In mid-September, local NFT trading cards featuring collaborations between Ehime Prefecture’s tourist attractions and resources with “Astro Boy” will be available for purchase.
The initiative aims to promote new inbound tourism by leveraging Ehime Prefecture’s rich regional assets, such as its natural beauty and cultural experiences, through innovative tourism content and cutting-edge technology.
