- Anime sports collaborations are on the rise, with One Piece joining various leagues.
In an exciting turn of events, the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team and renowned Japanese animation studio, Toei Animation, have unveiled a fresh collaboration.

About The Dodgers’ One Piece Night
A Unique Sporting Experience
Lisa Yamatoya, Senior Director and Head of Marketing at Toei Animation Inc., characterizes One Piece Night at Dodger Stadium as an extraordinary entertainment event. This unique experience will continue after the game with a captivating drone show featuring iconic characters from the One Piece series. A variety of activities related to One Piece are planned around Dodger Stadium, and the first 40,000 fans attending with tickets will receive straw hats upon arrival, courtesy of the Dodgers.
I’m thrilled about this collaboration because it’s not just luck that brings together Toei Animation Inc., based right here in LA, and me! Toei, the mastermind behind iconic anime series like Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, Digimon, and One Piece, has a strong presence here. Interestingly enough, this proximity might explain why One Piece previously teamed up with the Lakers.
Anime and baseball have shared a special bond for years, with baseball being one of the most frequently depicted sports in anime alongside soccer and basketball. Given Japan’s deep-rooted love for baseball and its current global dominance, it’s no surprise that this collaboration feels like a perfect match!
On the 3rd of July, the special event “One Piece Night” hosted by the Los Angeles Dodgers is scheduled. The match between the Dodgers and the White Sox kicks off at 7:10 PM sharp.
