Contest Overview
The TV anime Samurai Champloo, which first aired in 2004, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. To
commemorate this milestone, we are holding a contest to create fresh Samurai Champloo content!
Participants may use the anime footage provided for this contest in any way. Please combine your edited footage
with the designated audio to create a new Samurai Champloo video!
There are two categories: the Shorts category and the Music Video category, both of which can be entered via
YouTube.
Samurai Champloo is a TV anime directed by Shinichirō Watanabe that aired in 2004. This anime combines the
setting of a historical drama with elements of 2000s culture and a soundtrack by hip-hop artists such as
Nujabes, Tsutchie, Fat Jon, and FORCE OF NATURE, creating a true “champloo” (meaning “blended together”)
work.
The music, in particular, captivated not only anime fans but also hip-hop enthusiasts, and it continues to
garner high praise both domestically and internationally as a timeless masterpiece.
