The Yosakoi team 'Susaki-Makoto' (Representative: Kumi Hoshino) in Susaki City, Kochi Prefecture, is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on the support site 'CAMPFIRE' to produce a special float for the Kochi Yosakoi Festival in August 2026. Punctual Inc. (Headquarters: Susaki City, Kochi Prefecture; CEO: Ken Moritoki) is cooperating by supporting the project's operation. This project aims to produce a special float, a new challenge for 'Susaki-Makoto', to promote the charm of Susaki at the 2026 Yosakoi Festival. Against a target of 3 million yen, over 500,000 yen has been raised in just two days since the launch. A 'float' (jikata-sha) is a sound and performance truck used by the team. The background of the project lies in the team's history since 2013 and Representative Hoshino's passion for the 'Susaki Ondo'. This year's theme is 'Beginner's Mind', and the design will feature the Susaki City mascot 'Shinjo-kun'. Funds will be used for production costs, sound equipment, and return gifts. The application period runs until June 30, 2026.
