----- ADS-----
My Hero Academia has been on a high for a decade now, and while its manga is set to close soon, its anime is thriving to say the least. With its seventh season airing now, My Hero Academia is in the throes of its biggest storyline yet. Soon, the series will expand further with a new film that Toho International will distribute stateside. And now, a new fiscal report from Toho proves My Hero Academia is leading profits for the company’s anime division.
The revelation comes from Toho as the company posted its fiscal data for Q1 of 2025. It was there the international brand broke up its different divisions, and when it came to animation, My Hero Academia is doing big numbers. When it comes to distribution, My Hero Academia is “leading the category’ which just experienced a nearly 50% increase year over year. Toho also says Haikyu, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Jujutsu Kaisen, and The Apothecary Diaries have contributed to the impressive growth.
When it comes to character licensing, My Hero Academia helped push the category up year over year with help from Haikyu: Battle at the Dumpster. In fact, the animation division of Toho was up year over year in all categories, but none lifted quite like distribution. Theatrical distribution also rose by more than 50% thanks to the success of Haikyu’s latest feature, so you can bet that Toho is eyeing My Hero Academia: You’re Next with care.
