We are pleased to announce that Antón, the official mascot of Kashima Antlers, will be launching a YouTube channel starting Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

 

This channel is being launched by Antón, who has been working to increase the number of Kashima Antlers fans and supporters, with the motto "I want to meet everyone around the world!" It will feature videos updated every Wednesday that children and adults can enjoy together, including mini-corners, quizzes, projects where Antón himself challenges jobs related to Antlers, and projects to visit supporters' families' homes.

 

The aim is for viewers to have fun learning basic daily knowledge and habits such as greetings, numbers, colors, exercise, and cooperation through Antón's videos, as well as to foster a sense of familiarity and affection for the club, "Kashima Antlers."

 

We plan to provide an experience where viewers feel like Antlers is "family" through the history of Kashima Antlers, the structure of the stadium and clubhouse, and related businesses.

 

Here is a message from Antón:

 

"In 2025, I started X, participated in various events, and had more opportunities to high-five everyone at the stadium, so I was happy to convey the charm of Kashima Antlers!

 

In 2026, I want to meet even more people and convey the charm of Kashima Antlers to everyone!

 

That's why I decided to create a YouTube channel! I'll do my best to let everyone know about Antlers and have fun, so I'd be happy if you watch the videos!"

 

(*Some parts have been rewritten for readability)

For this project, we have welcomed Masashi Yokota (representative works: NHK E-tele 'Okaasan to Issho', 'Sherlock Holmes', 'Shakiin!', 'Musica Piccolino', etc.; part-time lecturer at Ibaraki University Faculty of Education), a filmmaker and representative of Kitchen, who handles many educational contents, as creative director. Haruna Karasuda (representative works: NHK E-tele 'Sign Language Animation Shuwawan!', 'Petit Petit Anime', 'Okaasan to Issho Family Concert', music for Snoopy Museum exhibits, etc.), a composer who has provided music for many educational contents, is in charge of creating the opening title music. Together, we will deliver fun, safe, and educational content.

 

Below are comments from Mr. Yokota and Ms. Karasuda.

 

■Masashi Yokota

"Antón said he wanted to meet more people and do various things, so I decided to help him with videos and designs. I want to thoroughly focus on Antón from various angles and bring out his various charms."

 

■Haruna Karasuda

"I've grown to love the energetic and cute Antón. It seems like there are lots of fun projects waiting on Tokoton Antón! I'd like to support him with all my music!"

 

In the future, we also plan projects involving viewer and supporter participation.

"Tokoton Antón TV" will be a place where the club mascot and fans/supporters can interact, and we will enhance the content so that people who are not fans/supporters can also watch it, so please support Antón's activities!
