A woman employed as a costumed performer at Tokyo Disneyland was awarded labor compensation after developing a disorder that caused acute pain in her arm, the park's operator said Wednesday.
Since February 2015, the 28-year-old contract worker has performed in parades wearing various characters costumes, each of which weighed around 10 kilograms, Oriental Land Co. said.
From November to December last year, she performed in some 50 shows such as Christmas parades which lasted about 45 minutes each time. She was required to raise her arms high as part of the performances.
