Question about the "kiroku"-job

[Sany van Tran]

Hello everyone,

while studying the credits of some Japanese animation movies I?ve come
across a staff position called "kiroku". If my Japanese is with me, it
means "record" or "document". But what exactly does someone in this
position do anyway? I?ve thought about it being the Japanese equivalent
of "continuity check" which you can find in American movies (I have
spotted the term "scriptgirl" as well). What do you think?

Thanks for any input.

cheers,
Sany
