Chiba Kogyo Bank Co., Ltd. (President: Jinji Umehara) announces the release of the second game in its series, 'Crayon Chiba Corgi!', today within the 'Lifestyle Services' section of its official smartphone app, 'Chiba Kogyo Bank App'. The game was developed through an industry-academia collaboration project with International Institute of Technology Academy (Chairman: Tooru Takei), a school corporation operating International Institute of Technology College.

The bank considers it its mission to enrich the lives of local residents and contribute to the sustainable development of the community. Moving forward, we will continue to collaborate with diverse stakeholders to further enhance the Chiba Kogyo Bank App as a platform that grows alongside the region.

1. Content of 'Crayon Chiba Corgi!'

'Crayon Chiba Corgi!' is a paint adventure game where players draw paths using red, blue, and green crayons—each with a different function—to guide Chiba Corgi to the goal. Designed for quick and easy enjoyment during spare moments, the game is accessible to everyone.

This original game features the bank's mascot character, 'Chiba Corgi', and was co-developed through the industry-academia collaboration project. It follows the first title, 'Gurutto Coin Hunt', released in May 2026. A third installment is planned for release once preparations are complete.

2. Background and Context

The 'Lifestyle Services' section of the Chiba Kogyo Bank App primarily offers 'Chiba Tokku!', which delivers coupons issued by local businesses and information about regional events, along with an 'Online Learning Service' providing access to over 1,450 videos useful for business skill development.

By enabling local companies to advertise and publish coupons on 'Chiba Tokku!' and implementing games developed through industry-academia collaboration, the Chiba Kogyo Bank App is positioned as an open platform for various stakeholders, including local businesses and students, to activate the regional community. Additionally, the services aim to deepen customer affinity through daily app usage for existing customers and to create new touchpoints with individuals who do not yet have accounts with the bank. These services are available to anyone who downloads the Chiba Kogyo Bank App.
