Nicánima Estudios

Nicánima Estudios is a Nicaraguan animation studio founded in 2024 by Marcos Iván Vilchez Ruiz, known professionally as Daz Zuvr (also styled Dazzu), who serves as its founder and CEO. The studio describes itself as combining visual art with cultural identity, and it develops animated series, short-story books, dubbing projects and original music. Its creative output is organized around two flagship fictional universes, Agüizotes and Ghosttown, which are presented on its official website as the studio's main worlds to explore. The studio was established together with a board of directors whose members include Ginneth Paola Morales Pérez, Nahomy Lisseth Flores Moreno, Nicole Robles Lechado, Mauriell Antonio González Sevilla and Francisco Enrique Salgado Rodríguez. Under Daz Zuvr's direction, this board leads a multidisciplinary team of young professionals whose areas of specialization include architecture, design, public accounting, marketing and professional training, alongside members from other fields who contribute technical and creative skills. According to the studio, most of its members come from UNAN-Managua (CUR-Estelí); the studio states that it has the support of UNAN-Managua but does not belong to the university or its projects, describing the venture as the initiative of its founder and CEO. Nicánima Estudios presents itself as more than an animation house: its website highlights books, dubbing and original music, the latter made possible through a fusion with the band TheVeilers. It offers a collection of short stories based on Nicaraguan mythology, and it promotes listening to TheVeilers at any time. The studio's public-facing identity is thus built around Nicaraguan cultural heritage, storytelling across media, and collaboration between animation, literature and music. The studio is based in Nicaragua and its team is linked to Estelí through the UNAN-Managua CUR-Estelí affiliation mentioned on its site. It operates as a private, founder-led creative venture rather than a publicly listed company, and its primary market is Nicaragua, with its website serving as its main international showcase. Its official site is hosted at nicanima.code.blog, where it maintains sections for its blog, YouTube channel, shop and contact, alongside profiles of team members such as Daz, Paola, Mauriel, Nahomy, Francisco and Nicole. As a young studio founded in 2024, Nicánima Estudios is best understood as an emerging Nicaraguan animation and transmedia brand whose distinguishing proposition is the fusion of local mythology and cultural identity with animation, publishing, dubbing and music.
