Happy New Year 2026 – Greetings from Fanworks

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your  valued support and patronage throughout the past year.

The year 2025 marked a significant milestone for us as we proudly celebrated our 20th anniversary. A truly memorable year, we were able to announce several exciting projects, including the unveiling of an original IP (co-created) anime series, the release of the fourth installment in our theatrical anime series, and the production of the official character anime series for the Osaka Expo.

During the 20th anniversary celebratory event itself, we unveiled our renewed corporate purpose: “Bringing happiness to the world through KAWAII ANIME.”
The concept of “KAWAII ANIME” fuses “KAWAII” and “ANIME.,” both of which have garnered increasingly significant attention in recent years. We are committed to continuous creation and innovation through “KAWAII ANIME,” aiming to deliver “happiness” to people in Japan and around the world.

Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that we will be co-hosting the “KAWAII ANIME FESTIVAL” in collaboration with Tokyo University of the Arts Mouri lab and Okamoto lab in May. We cordially invite you to attend. (Details will be announced at a later date via our company news page.)

Our customary New Year’s greeting visual features “Tomato the Lie Detective,” who debuted last year. Please look forward to seeing more of them throughout the coming year!

Finally, we sincerely wish you all good health and great happiness in 2026. The entire Fanworks team looks forward to your continued support for another wonderful year.
