SchoolYell is a system for society and communities to support children, and as one of its specific initiatives, it deploys the "SchoolYell Gacha." SchoolYell Gacha is a mechanism where children's ideas introducing local attractions are turned into merchandise and sold as capsule toys. By having many people, including locals and tourists, purchase merchandise filled with children's ideas, they learn about the good qualities of the region. A portion of the sales is utilized for initiatives that support schools and educational institutions, realizing sustainable support. ■ Kyoiku Net - Company Name: Kyoiku Net Co., Ltd. - URL: https://edu-net.co.jp/ - Location: Garden Plaza Kawawa WEST 2F, 1236-1 Kawawa-cho, Tsuzuki-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture - Representative: Izumi Osasa, Representative Director - Established: June 2014 - Other Locations: Tokyo Branch, Toyama Office
