Abstract
In recent years, the number of people using anime and manga in Japanese language classes has increased. However, most anime and manga are targeted at the intermediate advanced level. The beginner level lessons mainly use textbooks. They have few opportunities to touch native Japanese. Also, Usui (2012) said"because of the limited listening ability, using of animation was limited to higher than intermediate or middle advanced level". This time, the authors researched the possibility of teaching using animation. The authors created learning materials based on the anime "Spirited Away", especially for beginner level learners. They can study the vocabulary and sentence patterns of elementary level Japanese with the video. In this study, the authors report on practical lessons and results, future tasks.
