Toei Animation has released its first licensing report for its “One Piece” franchise. The new report provides an annual wrap-up of licensing gains for “One Piece” and details new license agreements and license renewals as well as highlights collaborations across merchandise categories. Over the past 16 months, Toei Animation amassed more than 20 agreements through its “One Piece” licensing efforts – including both new license agreements and license renewals.
“We’re excited to release this first-ever report for ‘One Piece’ – a franchise that has been entertaining fans around the world for over two decades and counting,” says Lisa Yamatoya, director, global marketing, Toei Animation. “Last year’s 1000th episode of the TV series was a historic milestone for ‘One Piece’ and capped off a year of major licensing gains for the franchise. This momentum has continued into 2022 – driven in part by the upcoming theatrical release of ‘One Piece Film Red’ later this year.”
The new “One Piece” license agreements will offer fans a wide range of new goods.
