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 and the event the following year took place online.

In 2023, the event re-adopted a split format for the first time since 2019, in which the first two days of the show are open to the public (deemed "Public Days") and the final two are "Business Days" limited toward those in the anime industry.^[5]
