In June we wrote about Yotam Lieberman, the Israeli who broke into Japan’s anime industry as a key animator. Now he is giving a talk about it at the Japanese Language Centre in Tel Aviv, where he studied Japanese, on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, at 19:30.
About the lecture#
Lieberman is one of the first Israeli animators to get into the Japanese anime industry. His work includes productions and projects such as Bleach, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Digimon and the Adidas × Ado campaign. In the talk he goes behind the scenes of the industry, from the animator’s desk to the frame that reaches the screen, breaking the process down frame by frame:
- what working inside a Japanese studio actually looks like
- how an idea becomes movement
- what a key animator really does
- what the path into one of the world’s largest and most distinctive animation industries looks like
He will show exclusive examples and working materials straight from his desk in Tokyo, the kind of process material audiences usually never see.
