Universal Studios Japan participated for the first time in the "Spring National Traffic Safety Campaign" held today, Monday, April 6, 2026. This year, which marks the 25th anniversary of the park's opening, under the theme "Discover U!!!", the park is stepping outside its gates to implement various initiatives with the desire to further enliven the local people of Osaka through the power of 25 years of entertainment.
As a special guest of this campaign held at the main entrance of the Osaka Prefectural Government Building, "Reika Ayanokoji", the Chatter General Manager (SGM) popular for her sharp-tongued talks, took the stage. With her characteristic talk, she called for "traffic safety" in her hometown of Osaka. During the campaign, a talk session about traffic safety with the MC and a traffic safety class were held together with high school students from the prefecture participating in the "Safety Bicycle Promoting School" project. Park characters also rushed to the departure ceremony for the police motorcycle units and patrol cars, taking commemorative photos with Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura and the high school students. After that, the park characters enthusiastically supported the dispatch of the police motorcycle units and patrol cars with "super energy".
This participation in the "Spring National Traffic Safety Campaign" was realized as one of the joint measures based on the comprehensive partnership agreement with Osaka Prefecture (signed on Tuesday, November 24, 2020), born from the desire to express gratitude for 25 years and to make local Osaka "super energetic" together with Osaka Prefecture.
Around 10:00 a.m. today, Monday, April 6, "Reika Ayanokoji", "Woody Woodpecker", and "Winnie Woodpecker" from Universal Studios Japan participated in the "Spring Traffic Safety Campaign".
Invited as a special guest, "Reika Ayanokoji" first addressed the residents of the prefecture regarding bicycle traffic safety, to which the traffic violation notification system will be applied from this spring, calling out, "To eliminate bicycle traffic violations, both riders and non-riders must know the rules!" She also sent messages not only to drivers but also to pedestrians: "Use pedestrian crossings when crossing the road!", "Using a smartphone while walking is dangerous because it causes accidents!", and "Don't sleep on the road!" (in response to the increasing number of accidents caused by lying on the road).
After that, "Reika Ayanokoji" tackled quizzes given by police officers at the traffic safety class together with local high school students, liven up the venue with her characteristic talk. Through a performance full of entertainment, she communicated bicycle traffic rules in a fun and easy-to-understand way. Once again, she called on the residents of the prefecture about the importance of wearing helmets and traffic safety.
Finally, "Woody Woodpecker" and "Winnie Woodpecker" joined in to support the departure ceremony of the police motorcycle units and patrol cars with "super energy," praying for traffic safety in Osaka Prefecture in 2026.
