The MOU was signed on June 16, 2023, when Beyond Pooh Corner producers, including Winvest executives Jeffrey Wong, Khiow Hui Lim, and Charlene Logan Kelly, visited Kofu City, the capital of Yamanashi Prefecture, located roughly 1.5 hours west of Tokyo in an area known for its stunning views of Mount Fuji.
