The credits for each episode of _Kowabon_ feature credits for the positions
"CA", "TK", and "AP". For example, from episode 11:

What are these positions? The official website for _Kowabon_ doesn't list
these positions on [its staff page](https://www.kbc.co.jp/kowabon/staff/), and
I don't believe I've seen them in the credits of any other anime I've watched.
(With these being two-letter acronyms, I have no idea how to search for them
effectively.)

I suspect that they might have something to do with _Kowabon_ being rotoscoped
(note: the topmost position in the screenshot above is "cameraman", which is
something you're only likely to find when rotoscoping is involved). Though,
then again, I had a look at the credits of an episode of _Aku no Hana_ , and
didn't see these particular positions credited (though they could've been
there under some other name).

question
anime-production kowabon
What are the positions "CA", "TK", and "AP"?


I didn't know about kowabon, but In general.

CA: Camera assistant.  
TK: Time keeper. (who check length of script that match to scene.)  
AP: Assistant producer.

Evidence: CA is positioned next to カメラマン"Camera Man".  
TK is positioned next to 音声"Voice"  
AP is positioned to last.
