"Tora-ho!" Cheering with All Might! Kansai-based YouTube Anime "HELLO OSAKA" Signs 2026 Team Sponsorship Deal with Hanshin Tigers

Kansai-based YouTube anime "HELLO OSAKA" (Operated by: Hankyu Hanshin Holdings, Inc.; Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President and Representative Director: Yasuo Shimada) has entered into a 2026 team sponsorship agreement with the Hanshin Tigers. Along with this, during a total of 120 games in the 2026 season, the "HELLO OSAKA" official X (formerly Twitter) account will post "Tora-ho!" cheering illustrations after the games.

In the "Tora-ho!" cheering posts, fans can enjoy daily life illustrations of the magical girls of HELLO OSAKA as they react to the game results. Moving forward, we will continue to support the Hanshin Tigers in the 2026 season through the holding of sponsored games for the Hanshin Tigers 2nd team official matches at Nittetsu Kohan SGL Stadium Amagasaki, and through the sale of goods such as collaboration plush toys between the Hanshin Tigers and HELLO OSAKA.

[About HELLO OSAKA]

This is an original short animation by Hankyu Hanshin Holdings set in the futuristic city of "Osaka City" in the year 20XX. Distribution on YouTube began in February 2023, and the surreal, Osaka-style gags delivered by magical girls such as Ara, Ume, and Mika have gained significant popularity. In March 2026, the channel's subscriber count surpassed 590,000.

Furthermore, during 2026, under the name "Halosaka Kansai Support Squad!", we plan to engage in support activities through collaborations with companies, local governments, organizations, and individuals based in the Kansai region, as well as participating in events held mainly in the Kansai area.
