The cast of KochiKame!, Osamu Akimoto’s long-running comedy manga and TV anime series, is returning to Japanese TV with a new animated short TV special promoting the sport of goalball and the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
The TV special is the 4th installment in the “Animation x Paralympics: Who is Your Hero?” series, in which famous comic characters interact with real life athletes.
Goalball is a sport for athletes with visual impairments, where players use their hands and their sense of hearing to try to lob a ball with bells embedded in it into their opponents’ goal.
