Michael Tanuyama

Michael Tanukiyama (マイケル・狸山) is a news anchor for ZNN in the 2016 Disney animated feature film Zootopia.

He appears in the Japanese release in place of male news anchor character Peter Moosebridge.

Role in the film
Tanukiyama, along with his snow leopard co-anchor, only makes two brief appearances in the film. First, the two are seen reporting breaking news in Zootopia labeling it as a "city gripped by fear" where a caribou was critically injured from a mauling by a savage polar bear, and a protest against a peace rally organized by Gazelle. He and his co-anchor appear one final time when they report Bellwether's arrest for conspiring the predatory attacks on Zootopia, Lionheart's denial of his knowledge of Bellwether's plot, and an antidote to Night howlers proving effective in rehabilitating the infected predators.
