Projects - Holy Entertainment

Anime has become a global phenomenon, with nearly 800 million fans worldwide as of 2024, and projections indicating it could soon reach one billion—rivaling the global fan base of major sports. Leveraging Shin’s deep-rooted connection to anime, his upbringing in Japan, and his successful career in Hollywood, along with Nia’s strong background in Christianity and Catholicism, Holy Entertainment is uniquely positioned to create compelling faith-based anime. By blending high-quality storytelling with powerful themes of faith and inspiration, the company aims to captivate and uplift anime fans worldwide.

As the birthplace of manga, Japan remains the world’s largest market, where the art form is deeply woven into daily life. In 2023, the manga industry was valued at approximately $13.57 billion, reflecting its immense cultural and economic impact. Having grown up immersed in Japanese manga, Shin deeply understands its artistic essence and global influence. For over a decade, he and Nia have developed and produced various comic book titles in the United States, collaborating with artists from around the world. Building on this experience, Holy Entertainment is committed to creating and producing faith-based manga and comics that inspire and uplift younger audiences worldwide, delivering powerful messages of hope, faith, and positivity.

LINE is a leading messaging app, particularly dominant in Japan, where it boasts 95 million monthly active users as of 2024—covering more than 68% of the country’s population. Across its four key markets—Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and Indonesia—LINE had 178 million active monthly users as of 2021. One of LINE’s standout features is its thriving digital sticker market, which plays a key role in daily communication for millions of users. As a native of Japan and an active LINE user, Shin understands the app’s cultural significance, influence, and the vast variety of digital stickers that enhance everyday conversations among friends, family, and colleagues across Asia and beyond. Shin and Nia have firsthand experience in launching their own set of digital stickers, having created a character for the platform over a decade ago when LINE first introduced the feature. Building on this experience, Holy Entertainment will develop engaging and entertaining faith-based digital stickers featuring unique characters and inspirational messages, making them accessible to users worldwide.
