Tokyo International Exchange College Ikebukuro held a special cultural lesson on the 11th of December, giving students an opportunity to an anime drawing lecture. Kimiharu Obata, a very well experienced instructor from AMPS International Anime School, taught students how to draw the faces of different anime characters. Students gave their biggest applause every time Mr. Obata drew a well-known anime character from some of the shows students are familiar with, such as Detective Conan, Sailor moon, Crayon Shin Chan and more. Students seemed to be more focused than in regular class showing excellent concentration during the drawing exercise. Tokyo International Exchange College Ikebukuro
