My Hero Academia Anime Leads Profits in New Toho Fiscal Report

As a long-time fan of anime and manga, I can’t help but feel elated and proud as I read about the success of “My Hero Academia.” Having grown up with the genre, I’ve seen its ebbs and flows, and to witness one of the most beloved series leading Toho’s anime profits is truly a sight to behold.


For over ten years, the popularity of My Hero Academia has been soaring high and showing no signs of slowing down. Though its manga is approaching its conclusion, the anime adaptation continues to flourish, currently in the midst of its seventh season and presenting its most intriguing storyline yet. Upcoming, a new film for the series will be released, which Toho International has announced will be distributed in the United States. Moreover, recent financial reports from Toho reveal that My Hero Academia is generating significant profits within their anime division.

In a recent disclosure, Toho shared its financial figures for Q1 in 2025. Notably, this is when the corporation unveiled its segmented data, revealing that animation has been a significant contributor to their success. Specifically, “My Hero Academia” shines brightly within this sector. In terms of distribution, this popular series tops its category, marking an almost 50% growth rate compared to last year. Moreover, the success story doesn’t stop there; other successful titles like “Haikyu,” “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End,” “Jujutsu Kaisen,” and “The Apothecary Diaries” have also played a substantial role in Toho’s impressive expansion.

As a passionate fan, I’ve noticed how significantly My Hero Academia contributed to the growth of character licensing, particularly in collaboration with Haikyu: Battle at the Dumpster. The animation sector of Toho experienced an upward trend across all categories, but distribution saw the most remarkable jump. Toho’s theatrical distribution surged by over 50% due to Haikyu’s latest movie success. Consequently, Toho is paying close attention to My Hero Academia: You’re Next, eagerly anticipating its potential impact on their distribution numbers.

As a long-time anime fan and industry observer, I have witnessed the meteoric rise of anime’s global popularity over the past few decades. With this newfound success comes increased profitability for studios and distributors, making it more worthwhile than ever to screen anime films in theaters.

If you haven’t kept up with “My Hero Academia” anime yet, don’t worry! You can easily catch up with it as Hulu and Crunchyroll now have the series available. With the return of season seven, these streaming platforms offer you a chance to watch it. For those who are new to the show and want more details, here’s a brief summary:

Ishikawa harbored a dream of becoming a hero since childhood – an ambitious aspiration for any person, but particularly difficult for someone without superpowers. In a society where approximately eighty percent of its inhabitants possess some form of “quirk,” or superpower, Ishikawa found himself among the unlucky few born with none. However, this did not deter him from pursuing his dream and applying to one of the world’s most elite hero academies.
