SHAKA's coverage in 2026 runs through two threads: events he hosts under the LEGENDUS banner, and appearances as a streamer in other companies' campaigns. In June he hosted LEGENDUS Gateball, a tournament that put ten fighting game influencers into a 30-minute gateball match on his Twitch channel. Two months later he hosted LEGENDUS League of Legends ARAM: Mayhem Supported by Riot Games, bringing twenty streamers into four teams for a round-robin qualifier and a BO3 final placement bracket. The gateball event followed earlier LEGENDUS entries built around Street Fighter 6 and League of Legends.
His appearances outside his own events include McDonald's Japan's Pokemon Summer Mac collaboration. A television commercial starring actor Ryo Yoshizawa and SHAKA began airing on July 21. The campaign includes a Pokemon GO partnership that made all McDonald's locations in Japan PokéStops from July 20 to September 1. In May he was among the streamers broadcasting Forza Horizon 6 driving sessions set in Japan, alongside Haseshin and Suzuki Noriaki.
Twitch's State of Gaming 2026 report, covering January 1 to September 1, names SHAKA and Laz of ZETA DIVISION among top streamers in Japan. Netmarble has since opened pre-registration for Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Strongest Species and lists SHAKA among the streamers providing live gameplay at Tokyo Game Show 2026, ahead of a release planned within the year on iOS, Android, and PC.

According to KAI-YOU, Nijisanji's Shellin Burgundy and Hayama Marin, Hololive's Wando Chihaya, Oozora Subaru, Natsuiro Matsuri, and Vspo's Choya Hanabi have all played the game. Streamers Haseshin, SHAKA, and Suzuki Noriaki are also broadcasting 'driving in Japan' sessions.

Shellin Burgundy's streams focus on recognizing real-world locations like Akihabara and Shibuya, while Hayama Marin's 'beginner drift story' involves learning to drift with a kei truck. Separately, ASCII.jp reports that 'Forza Horizon 6' held the number one spot on Steam's Japan sales rankings as of June 1. Meanwhile, Game Spark notes that the 'Premium Upgrade' for the Steam version has been temporarily removed due to a rights issue with unreleased content, though the Premium Edition remains available.
