Anime, series and tourist-cultural documentaries from Japan will be part of the EcuadorTV programming, starting on April 15, 2023. This, thanks to the signing of a cooperation agreement between COMUNICA EP and the Government of Japan.
Rafael Castillo, general manager, and Hinano Terasaka, political, cultural and press attaché of the Embassy of Japan, delivered-received educational, cultural and anime programs that will be broadcast through EcuadorTV.
The donation of the audiovisual material was made this Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at the facilities of the public company. In this space, Rafael Castillo, general manager, and Hinano Terasaka, political, cultural and press attaché of the Embassy of Japan, delivered-received the contents.
Castillo pointed out that Japan is a fundamental strategic ally that, on this occasion, has delivered educational content for the population. “Thanks to Fundación Japón and the Embassy of Japan we are going to have educational, children’s content for our children and cultural content, which is one of the bases of the company’s structure.”
In this framework, the political, cultural and press attaché pointed out that the goal of this agreement is to arouse the interest of Ecuadorians towards Japanese culture. “We have a long distance between Ecuador and Japan, so the broadcast of the programs is essential to strengthen relations between the two countries.”

After the delivery, the visitors toured the facilities of El Telégrafo, EcuadorTV and Pública FM.
