Kyoto Animation CEO Hideaki Hatta previously stated that the money received from donations will go to the victims and their families.
The Mainichi Shimbun newspaper reported last week that the Kyoto Labor Bureau has begun paying workers’ compensation to the families of the victims and those who were injured from the arson attack on Kyoto Animation.
Kyoto Animation held a public memorial service for the victims of the fire at the Miyako Messe event hall in Kyoto on November 3-4.
The man allegedly bought 40 liters of gasoline in two canisters and used a cart to transport the gasoline to Kyoto Animation’s Studio 1 building.
