What is AKABUMI?

AKABUMI is actually a name which uses two different words from two different languages. The word AKA which is written in Japanese hiragana as あか means "Red" in Japanese and BUMI which is written in Japanese katakana as ブミ means "Earth" in Malay or Bahasa Melayu (which is a spoken language in both Brunei and Malaysia).

So literally it means "Red Earth".

It's not quite original. But it'll do for a company name for now... or should I say a Doujin Company for now...

Kuroi Kai hopes that this company name will collaborate with other companies like Shueisha, Shougakukan, DC Comics and other publishing companies. And hopefully this company will bring more Bruneians to do comics and to bring the Japanese to work in Brunei for animation and manga or to teach Japanese language someday.

Hopefylly this company will also bring Bruneians to Japan to do manga or to become assistants for mangaka in Japan.

But for now, this company needs to think of something smaller first.
