AnimeJapan is a Japanese anime consumer show held annually at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center in Tokyo since in March 2014. It was created from the merger of the Tokyo International Anime Fair with the Anime Contents Expo.[1]

It is organized by the AnimeJapan Executive Committee with support from The Association of Japanese Animations and The Association of Manga Publishers.[2][3] The 2020 AnimeJapan event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the 2021 event took place online. The event returned to Tokyo Big Sight in 2022.
