Kasagi Labo
A venture studio bridging anime creators and global fans
About Kasagi Labo
Kasagi Labo is a Singapore-headquartered venture studio that empowers the Japanese anime industry to scale globally by managing intellectual property, licensing, and production. Operating as a strategic bridge between Tokyo’s creative sector and international markets, the company partners directly with veteran creators and studios to produce original titles and revive classic franchises, offering an alternative to the traditional production committee system that often limits creator earnings.
At the core of its business is the "Oshi" platform, a digital ecosystem that leverages data analytics to track fan engagement and sentiment across borders. This technology enables the company to identify high-value "fan clusters" and optimize decision-making for merchandise and content distribution, effectively running a B2B2C model that connects Japanese studios directly with their global audience through digital collectibles and exclusive products.
Backed by investors such as Burda Principal Investments, Kasagi Labo has raised significant capital to acquire IP rights and fund new projects like "Special Kid Factory." The company focuses on solving the industry's structural monetization issues, aiming to provide financial sustainability for animators while delivering authentic Japanese content to a growing worldwide fanbase.
