Join Japans anime community at booth #3573 during Licensing 2006 International, the premier annual trade event for the licensing industry where owners and agents of intellectual properties showcase their brands to 23,000+ high-profile retailers, licensees, and promotional partners.

Japan has won global acclaim for the originality and quality of its animation, as broadened into worldwide appeal, with Japan supplying roughly 60% of the animation shown on television and in theaters around the world. Japans anime industry comprises more than 400 companies, over 60% of which are based in Tokyo. Branded-character merchandising, including the licensing of rights to use anime characters and sales of toy figures and other goods using characters images, is huge, and the total anime market is believed to be worth more than $18 billion in annual sales.
