Yuka Ozaki Stars in Live-Action Kemono Friends Ad to Promote ATM Network
posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Voice actress Yuka Ozaki regularly makes official appearances while cosplaying as her Kemono Friends character Serval, often saying some of Serval's trademark catchphrases. The latest example is a new commercial for E-net ATMs, which debuted on Monday. The commercial features the anime's opening theme song "Yōkoso Japari Park e" (Welcome to Japari Park).
The ad reveals that people using Japan's postal bank account cards can now use E-net ATMs for free during main business hours.
Another commercial featuring Kemono Friends characters with E-net's mascot rabbit Atomu (for "ATM") also debuted on Monday.
E-net has more about 13,000 ATMs in convenience and grocery stores throughout Japan.
The original Kemono Friends television anime debuted in January 2017, and a second season is planned. However, controversy surrounding the franchise began when director TATSUKI reported in September that, per a notification from publishing and production company Kadokawa, he is no longer working on the series. Soon after, the anime's official website announced that Yaoyorozu would no longer be involved due to communication problems related to copyright permission. Producer Yoshitada Fukuhara confirmed in December that Yaoyorozu will not return.
