MAPPA Launches 15th Anniversary Projects With Lineup Stream and Exhibition

MAPPA celebrated its 15th anniversary on June 14 with a special website, a June 19 lineup presentation stream, and a fall 2026 exhibition. The studio, founded in 2011 by Masao Maruyama, has produced major hits including Attack on Titan The Final Season, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man. The presentation will feature new title information and a commemorative movie with a song by PEOPLE 1.

MAPPA marked its 15th anniversary on June 14 by opening a special website and announcing a series of commemorative projects. On June 19 at 20:00, the studio will stream a "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Lineup Presentation" featuring new information on future titles, special segments with cast and staff, and the debut of a "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Movie" set to the newly written song "Seikatsu" by rock band PEOPLE 1. The navigator is Kenjiro Tsuda, and the narrator is Kotono Mitsuishi. A physical exhibition is also planned for fall 2026.

Founded on June 14, 2011, by anime producer Masao Maruyama, MAPPA rose through the 2010s with titles like Kids on the Slope, Terror in Resonance, and Yuri!!! on ICE before breaking into global prominence with Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man. The studio notably self-financed the 2022 Chainsaw Man TV anime without a production committee, a model that drew industry attention for its risk-taking approach to IP development. Titles listed for the presentation include Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan The Final Season, Oblivion Battery, Chainsaw Man, and Dorohedoro.
