Toei Animation launched its inaugural ONE PIECE Fest in Los Angeles with sold-out sessions featuring the immersive Elbaph dome experience, exclusive merchandise and panels.

Toei Animation's stock rose about 2.4% after the announcement of a €6 billion Dragon Ball Z theme park near Cergy-Pontoise and was trading close to its 52-week high. The project, co‑financed by the Saudi group Qiddiya, is expected to create around 22,000 jobs and builds on an existing collaboration between Toei and Qiddiya.
