 * Duskin Co., Ltd. (owners of Mister Donut in Japan, we could shoot the commercials for Mister Donut promoting Arthur at that last remaining Mister Donut in North America in Godfrey, Illinois, United States)
 * Aoki's Pizza
 * Seiyu

We could also have walkarounds of the characters made (we could probably use the standard Arthur walkaround that you see at PBS member stations' events and book fairs and such) We already have Daihatsu registered as a sponsor, and their name will appear immediately before the opening theme song (like in most Japanese TV shows). Your other sponsors seem to be making this a bit TOO Americanised. Having a sponsor from the US would be fine, but not a whole bunch of them. Also, all these suggestions you made are either a restaurant chain or an American-owned chain of department stores. We currently have a domestic Japanese car manufacturer lined up to sponsor; please gather up some companies from distinct industries.

The Arthur walkaround character idea seems like a good way to go; I think, however, that the current Arthur walkaround character could do with a redesign. But how?

Outside of the redesign, I can already see Arthur and D.W. standing alongside Doraemon outside the ABS Broadcasting Center... Other news: I'm also drawing up a concept design for an Arthur-sponsored Ferrari 458 that will run in the Japanese Super GT series, as well as a few other major series in East Asia.
