Indonesia is a vast country, rich in bird species such as the Kepodang which is a medium-sized (± 26 cm) warbler (passeriformes) of the Oriolus species from the central region of China. We chose to use the Kepodang character in an animated film because of the rarity of characters taken from this one animal and also this animal is a beautiful icon of Central Java. The purpose of this research is to create a mascot or icon for the Animation Skills Program at SMK Negeri 4 Semarang as well as an effort to preserve fauna, history and culture diversity that is packaged by utilizing innovation through illustration representation media. The method used is focused on writing that refers to reference books and  other computerized sources such as logical diaries, articles and pages on the site. This review uses a clear subjective methodology in which the articles that are reviewed and dissected are illustrative representational media. Therefore, this review examines the production of illustrative characters as a feature of efforts to protect culture and history. The object of this research is a bird typical of Central Java, namely Kepodang which is visualized with attributes that are adopted from the character of Gatotkaca through illustration media, therefore making an outline with new and natural thoughts. The technique of collecting information obtained is the result of hypotheses and the development of ideas from existing sources.
