BANZAI is Javier Salazar's IP-creation and animation production studio. A project born in 2005, to fulfill a childhood dream of creating animated cartoons.

​

Banzai (万歳) means “to live ten thousand years”. Once the battle cry of the Samurai era (and a blessing to the emperor) it is now widely used in Japan for cheering all sorts of achievements and as an expression of best wishes for the future.

​

​With this spirit of joy and permanence is that we create original characters and conceive awesome stories and worlds where these characters can grow, live adventures, and inspire the audience.

​

We love what we do, and we hope you will too. 

​

So, let's work -and have fun- together.

And, of course, let's always celebrate.
