\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to celebrate the upcoming release of \u2018One Piece Film Red\u2019 with this special performance by Steve Aoki produced exclusively for fans,\u201d said Lisa Yamatoya, Director of Global Marketing of Toei Animation Inc. \u201cAnime Expo 2022 provides the perfect backdrop to promote this exciting new film from creator Eiichiro Oda.

\u201cThis year marks our first in-person Anime Expo event since 2019, and we\u2019re incredibly excited about partnering with Toei Animation Inc. to host a special performance by international superstar Steve Aoki,\u201d said Ray Chiang, CEO of SPJA. \u201cThrough both his music and fashion collaborations, Mr. Aoki has been deeply connected to the anime community for decades, making him the perfect artist to help welcome our Anime Expo fans back home to Downtown Los Angeles in 2022!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have been a huge fan of Toei Animation from as early as I can remember.  One Pieceholds a special place in my heart because I have always been impressed by the resilience and determination of Luffy. His happy-go-lucky demeanor in the face of adversity inspired me in many ways.  Having this opportunity to join forces with Toei Animation to commemorate their upcoming \u2018One Piece Film Red\u2019 is an immense honor. Not only am I performing during Anime Expo, but my brand Dim Mak is also releasing a merch collab at the same time,\u201d says Steve Aoki. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
