AnimeJapan 2025, one of the world's biggest anime events, has officially been announced! Organized by the General Incorporated Association AnimeJapan, this event gathers anime fans, industry professionals, and businesses from around the world. Whether you are an exhibitor, industry professional, or a passionate anime fan, this event offers unparalleled opportunities to engage with the global anime community.

AnimeJapan 2024: A Record-Breaking Event with Even Greater Potential for 2025

AnimeJapan 2024 took Tokyo Big Sight by storm on March 23-24, drawing an impressive 132,557 visitors—a 132% increase from last year. With 110 exhibitors showcasing eye-catching booths, exclusive merchandise, and talk events featuring top voice actors, the event once again proved to be a must-attend spectacle for anime fans worldwide.

Beyond the fan experience, the event was also a major hub for international business. JETRO’s online business matching program brought together 69 overseas buyers from 28 countries, marking an all-time high. Thailand led the way with seven participating companies, followed by Germany and France (six each), and China and Malaysia (five each). The buyers included OTT service providers, film distributors, broadcasters, and licensing companies eager to bring Japanese anime to global audiences. Meanwhile, 51 Japanese companies—ranging from anime studios to TV networks and film distributors—engaged in a total of 220 business negotiations. Many international buyers even visited Japan specifically for the event, with additional business meetings held in person during the Business Days on March 25-26.

With AnimeJapan gaining more global attention and the Japanese yen at historic lows, 2025 is expected to see an even larger influx of visitors and exhibitors from overseas. More foreign companies may seize the opportunity to showcase their brands at a lower cost, fueling greater international collaboration in the anime industry. All signs point to next year’s event being bigger and more globally connected than ever before.
