Toei Animation, the studio behind One Piece, is calling for stronger action against anime piracy and wants more support from the Japanese government to protect anime rights worldwide. The company says piracy remains a major problem as anime grows more popular internationally. Reports show anime now accounts for about one-third of Japan’s total overseas content revenue, making it one of the country’s most valuable entertainment exports. Toei believes better copyright protection is needed so studios, creators, and production teams can earn revenue from their work. The company is urging the Japanese government to collaborate more closely with international partners to combat illegal anime streaming and distribution.

Sega put Snoop Dogg, Ado, Tupac, and Bunta Sugawara in the same Stranger Than Heaven cast page. Yu Shirota is still Makoto Daito. Snoop is Orpheus, the smuggler who finds him on the ship. Ado is Osaka singer Keiko Shirai. Tupac is Amaru. Bunta’s face is Genzo Iwaki, voiced by Takashi Ukaji after the family signed off and Toei sent the old footage. New screenshots went up with the profiles. Dean Fujioka, Tori Kelly, and Snoop’s son Cordell Broadus are in there too. Snoop’s line: “Taking what’s meant to be where it’s meant to be. That’s our motto.” January 15, 2027. PS5, Xbox, PC. Game Pass.
