Overview

Japanese companies are expanding their brand presence on the LINE communication app through new digital content releases.

On August 25, 2026, Increws Inc. released LINE emojis for the anime ‘Maid-san wa Taberu dake’, featuring the character Suzume. This was followed on September 1 by Increws announcing LINE themes for the occult comedy ‘Reiwa no Darasan’, while LEC Co., Ltd. launched 32 paid stickers for ‘Gekiochi-kun’ to facilitate “daily digital conversations”. On September 24, Increws released the ‘Ota Gal Emoji’ set for the anime ‘There Is No Such Thing as a Gal Who Is Kind to Otakus!?’.

By late September, Increws released a LINE theme featuring illustrator Jun Ichihara on September 29, followed by a second volume of stickers for the Chiba Jets mascot, Jumbo-kun, on September 30. Notably, the ‘Cho Kaguyahime!’ LINE emojis reached the number one position in the LINE Creators Market ranking on September 29.

In October, Increws expanded its offerings with the Yomiuri Giants player puppet series, which included 11 different LINE themes released on October 22. On October 23, the company launched LINE stickers for the YouTube short animation series ‘Zenryoku Kaihi Flag-chan!’. Increws, a publisher specializing in design content and IP licensing, continues to target market share growth in Japan and international markets such as Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia.
