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 Japanโs total overseas content revenue, making it one of the countryโs 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.
