Production notes
Every story starts as a cast and a setting. Those are drawn once, then used as reference for every picture in the story, so the characters stay themselves from beginning to end.
The cast
たろう a brave fox
red fox with bright orange fur, bushy white-tipped tail, slender build, wearing a small green scarf
Sounds calm and confident.
みみ a clever rabbit
white rabbit with large upright ears, soft grey eyes, small and nimble, wearing a blue vest
Sounds quick and cheerful.
かめ a wise old turtle
green turtle with a worn brown shell, sturdy legs, small round glasses perched on nose, slow movements
Sounds slow and thoughtful.
はな a graceful deer
light brown deer with white spots along back, slender legs, elegant neck, adorned with a pink flower behind the ear
Sounds soft and gentle.
The setting
A lush, ancient forest where four animal friends embark on their adventures.
A dense, vibrant forest with towering ancient trees, dappled sunlight filtering through lush green leaves, soft moss carpeting the ground, lively undergrowth filled with colourful wildflowers and small critters, all creating a magical and inviting atmosphere for adventure.
