Yamato Transport is a package delivery company that used to be popular with the cat on its corporate mark. The task at hand was to appeal the brand presence to young people in their 20s and promote the use of Yamato's delivery service. So by making a hybrid character from what was previously just a logo and the delivery truck, the cat character was brought to life. The commercial succeeded in establishing the positioning, that the 'Cat' is the one that really knows all the small back streets of Japanese cities and towns.
