VIZ Media has been named the exclusive U.S. product licensor for the new animated crime-fighting action series "Tiger & Bunny."

The "Tiger & Bunny" Blu-ray ranks No. 1 on Amazon Japan, and a wide variety of toys, collectables and other products are already licensed for the Japanese market. The show will be available on Hulu.com and VIZAnime.com once the show debuts in Japan.

“We’re very excited to participate again at the Licensing International Expo, and this year we’ll showcase ‘Tiger & Bunny,’ a new series that has been the subject of tremendous buzz among fan circles,” says Tracy Hanchett, director of consumer products at VIZ Media. “With its multi-textured characters and unique blend of comedy and over the top action, the Tiger & Bunny brand is ideally suited to a range of product merchandising options across all categories for the key male 14-25 demographic. We look forward to meeting with leading product partners at the show to explore the exciting range of possibilities for this hot new property.”
