JAKKS Pacific Unveils New Anime Product Line

JAKKS Pacific, Inc., announced a new licensing partnership with KODANSHA Ltd., to design, manufacture, market, and sell a wide-ranging collection of toys, collectibles, and accessories inspired by select KODANSHA Ltd. anime properties.

Under the agreement, JAKKS will develop a full collection inspired by the beloved series Attack on Titan and the hit first season of Gachiakuta. The partnership marks an expanded push by JAKKS into anime-driven products, with offerings designed for both core collectors and broad retail audiences.

The lineup will include a wide assortment of figures, plush, and tech accessories, with a distribution roll out across specialty and online retailers, direct-to-consumer channels, and collector-focused platforms, with select products also available at major retailers.

Ariana Berman, Senior Director of Anime Division at JAKKS Pacific, said:

“As JAKKS continues to build a focused anime portfolio, KODANSHA stands out as a partner with an extraordinary legacy and a deep roster of globally recognized properties. Their compelling library connects emotionally with fans, and our goal is to translate that connection into products that feel authentic, collectible, and accessible across multiple retail outlets.”

JAKKS has a proven track record of translating beloved brands into high-quality consumer products that resonate with audiences around the world,” said Yuichiro Takashima of KODANSHA Ltd. “Through this collaboration, we can bring Attack on Titan and Gachiakuta directly into the hands of fans, offering new ways to engage with these worlds beyond the page and the screen.

For decades, KODANSHA Ltd has nurtured a dynamic roster of artists and collaborators across genres, building a legacy of inspired voices, narratives and platforms. Attack on Titan remains one of the best-selling manga series of the last decade, with over 140 million copies in circulation worldwide and a lasting legacy across print and animated media. Gachiakuta, first serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2022, has quickly built a dedicated following and expanded its reach with a 2025 anime adaptation that brings its distinctive world and characters to screens worldwide.

JAKKS Pacific, Inc. is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of toys and consumer products sold throughout the world, with its headquarters in Santa Monica, California.
