Funakoshi Eiichiro (49) and Fukada Kyoko (27) are both starring in the upcoming movie "A Tale of Ululu’s Wonderful Forest" and today they have worked as directors of the Sapporo Maruyama Zoo as part of their promotional "Life Bonds Campaign".
The movie is set in Hokkaido and focuses around and focuses around Ululu who is thought to be a wolf cub of the extinct Ezo Wolfs (Hokkaido Wolfs). It nicely portrays the bonds that you start to develop when taking care of an animal. Both of them got to feed the two wolfs Jay and Kinako and Funakoshi even looked after the zoo’s Steller’s sea eagles. In the end they also planted a tree to commemorate all the experiences they have made that day.
Funakoshi also appealed to all people out there to get more interested in animals. "I’ve seen a lot of animals that fear to get extinct some day. With this movie and campaign I’d like to motivate the people to get more in contact with animals so that they start to like them more. Even if it’s just a little, I really want them to get more interested in animals."
Fukakyon who has a Teacup Poodle called Melonpan-chan herself also called out to the viewers. "The two wolfs were very nice and absolutely adorable. I hope this movie will make the people appreciate animals more and even want to protect them better from now on."
