# Oshi Overview

**Oshi is where anime’s future unfolds**. It’s guided by creators, supported by fans, and open to all who believe in the journey.

We’re building an open foundation for participation. Not as an end, but as a means to empowerment. One that makes anime more participatory, globally accessible, and rewarding for those who help shape its future.

At its core, Oshi unlocks a more dynamic ecosystem where creators can reach their audience directly, fans can play a meaningful role in early growth, and licensees can identify high-potential titles earlier and with greater confidence. The result is more efficiency, more opportunity, and better alignment across the entire anime value chain.

### **What Oshi Makes Possible**

* **For creators**, Oshi offers global reach, creative autonomy, and a more transparent, rewarding path to build momentum and lasting value around their work without compromising ownership.
* **For fans**, Oshi transforms viewership into meaningful participation by letting you support anime you care about, follow its growth, and build a contribution history that can unlock future rewards as the stories succeed.
* **For licensees**, Oshi provides earlier access to emerging anime IPs, clear signals of audience interest, and a more inclusive path to global growth by improving visibility and opening participation to partners of all sizes.

### **Why This Matters**

Oshi is focused on building a real future for anime IPs, where every supporter helps shape success and participation ties people to the journey’s rewards.

We’re creating a system that opens creative ownership across the community, encouraging deeper engagement, earlier growth, and tangible value for those who believe in stories from the start.

Oshi is building a new model for anime IPs. It’s one where participation is measurable, value flows more efficiently, and early alignment leads to long-term scale.
We’re not dismantling the industry. We're helping it evolve into a more connected, creator-driven future.
