The life of a single Japanese martyr’s mother is narrated in “Koniko’s Mother”.


According to Fars News Agency’s Radio and TV reporter, the 26-episode animation “Koniko’s Mother” is being made to introduce children and teenagers to the life of a martyred mother (the late Seba Babaei, the Japanese mother of the martyr of the holy defense). Yadaleh Tanaver, the producer and director of this series, announced the complete preparation of five animated episodes of “Koniko’s Mother” for broadcasting.

He had previously said about the production process of this work that “a month had passed since his death when I presented my design to the Saba Animation Center. With Saba’s agreement, we decided to produce the animation in 26 episodes of 14 minutes. Since Mrs. Kuniko Yamamura did not give interviews during her life and did not allow her biography to be published, Mr. Hamid Hassam, the author of the book “Immigrant to the Land of the Sun” during a trip with Ms. Kuniko Yamamura, convinced her to tell her biography. We used two types of Iranian and Japanese music. In the spring of 1403, the animation of Kuniko Yamamura’s mother will be finished.”

According to this director, the animation of “Koniko’s mother” is inspired by the book “Mohajer Sarzemin Aftab” written by Hamid Hossam and Masoud Amirkhani. A work that narrates parts of the life of Kuniko Yamamura (Saba Babaei), the Japanese mother of the martyr of the holy defense of Mohammad Babaei.

In this regard, Tanavar said: The narration of the story begins with the birth and childhood of this lady and its concurrence with the Second World War, and after that, the story of her meeting her husband, converting to Islam, emigrating to Iran and sending her son to the front and other activities. We will pay for his culture.

This animation is made with comic motion technique, in 26 four-minute episodes, and all episodes will be ready by the spring of next year. The possible broadcast of this adaptation will coincide with the anniversary of the death of Ms. Kuniko Yamamura (Saba Babaei).

“Koniko Yamamura” died in July of last year due to a respiratory injury in “Khatem-ul-Anbia” hospital in Tehran.
