New Creative Service from Narita: nanca.jp Notice of New Service Launch

New Service Launch Announcement

New Creative Service from Narita 「nanca.jp」 Released

— Turning 'Communication' into Form Through Illustration and Design —

E-LINE Co., Ltd. (head office: Narita City, Chiba Prefecture) launched nanca.jp, a new service site specializing in illustration and design production, in December 2025.
nanca.jp is a creative platform originating in Narita and available to a wide range of users—from companies, local governments, and educational institutions to individual creators—built around the theme of design that makes people feel, 'there's just something nice about it.'




■ Service Features

This service leverages E-LINE's accumulated expertise in web development and data analysis while emphasizing design that communicates effectively to viewers. We provide one-stop production of diverse designs tailored to the purpose and medium, including logos, characters, posters, and social-media graphics. By having people create the designs directly, we achieve speed, quality, and originality at a high level. We have also established a framework that can be used to support branding for local companies, schools, and other organizations.

■ From Narita to the Rest of Japan

Since its founding, E-LINE has worked from its base in Narita City to solve regional challenges through 'data' and 'design.' nanca.jp is a new initiative born from those community-focused efforts.
By expanding collaboration with local creators and students, we aim to share a locally rooted design culture from Narita City with the rest of Japan.

■ Introducing the Character 'Naa-kun'!

As the original character of nanca.jp, the friendly character 'Naa-kun' was created by combining the 'na' in Narita with 'nanka' from the phrase 'nanka ii na'—roughly, 'there's just something nice about it.'
Naa-kun is planned to appear in a variety of settings—including websites, events, and merchandise—as a symbol of 'Narita, the City of Design.' LINE stickers based on Naa-kun's world have also been released, with expressive illustrations adding personality to everyday communication. They are playful designs that let people share the feeling of 'there's just something nice about it' in daily conversations.

■ Comment from the Representative Director

'Design that makes people think, “there's just something nice about it,” has a warmth that numbers alone cannot measure.
nanca.jp is a place for spreading from the local community the kind of 'design that communicates people's feelings.'
— Yuki Sugaya, Media Division, E-LINE Co., Ltd.

■ Future Developments

Going forward, in addition to illustration and design production, we plan to develop educational and regional-collaboration projects such as 'design experience classes' for local children and students and 'joint production of local advertising.'
