Advertising Council Japan (社団法人ACジャパン) / Old name: Japan Advertising Council (社団法人 公共広告機構)

A non-profit organization that creates public service announcements. One from 2011-12 called 'あいさつの魔法。' ('[i]Aisatsu no Mahou.[/i]', 'The Magic of Greetings') featured characters with [[pun]]-based names and distinctive onomatopoeia, 'ポポポポ～ン' ([i]Popopopoon[/i]).  The original animated short is "here":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsRm78ZSOgc. Artists started creating [[personification]] images of the animal characters after the short's incessant airing in the immediate aftermath of the 3.11 Earthquake, when most companies pulled their advertisement.
