概要	The purpose of this research is to develop a „Developing Support Tool‟ for creating characters that will appear in visual content, such as animation, feature films, television programs, .... A character in visual content is an object which is able to move with its own „mind‟ to create progress in a story, as well as arouse empathy from viewers. The impression that a character leaves viewers with is very important, which means that developing a character is not just about choosing the right shape or color. Determining a character‟s background, facial expressions, actions, and other characteristics are just as essential. In this research, we have constructed the „Character Background Tool‟, the „Character Digital Scrapbook Tool‟, and the „Character Analysis Tool‟ to efficiently create characters that are consistent with the aim of the DREAM production process. These tools save textual information about characters into XML, and use it throughout the DREAM process. As part of our research, we have conducted an evaluation test using these proposed tools for developing a character. From the test results, we found out that these proposed tools are useful in character development. (Define DREAM) „Developing‟, „Rendering‟, „Exploiting‟, „Activation‟, and „Management‟.
