About OBON SOCIETY
OBON SOCIETY is a non-profit humanitarian effort run from Oregon that returns Yosegaki Hinomaru flags and other personal items taken during World War II to Japanese families. The channel posts short vertical clips, occasional long-form documentaries, and livestream recordings about individual flag returns, according to its website and video catalog.
Based on channel metrics, the audience is small and mostly older viewers, with an estimated split between English and Japanese speakers. These are estimates from the dataset, not measured demographics. The channel's median video draws about 753 views, so per-view reach is modest.
The founders, Rex and Keiko Ziak, are described on the organization's website. Brands seeking a sponsored integration would pay a range of $150 to $250 per video, which equals about $200 to $330 CPM against a typical paid-ad CPM of $10 to $30. This channel is best suited to nonprofits and heritage organizations rather than commercial product sponsors.
