The AJ Stage consists of four stages with appearances by voice actors, creators, and guests. Presentations will cover ongoing productions as well as new announcements, including behind-the-scenes discussions and previews of upcoming projects.

The exhibition area will feature booths from companies including Bandai Namco, NHK, Frontier Works, Fate/Grand Order, Good Smile Company, Kadokawa, MAPPA, Sega, Toho Animation, Toei Animation, and Ufotable. Exhibits will include product displays, announcements, and mini stage events.

Exclusive merchandise will be available at the event, including an AnimeJapan gacha based on the official key visual and a selection of original goods. These items will only be sold at the convention.

Cosplay participation is a regular feature of AnimeJapan, with attendees coming from various countries to take part.

Idol group Sakurazaka46 is serving as the official ambassador for the 2026 event.

Following the public days, Business Days will be held on March 30 and 31 at the Tokyo Big Sight Conference Tower. This segment is open only to business visitors and is intended to facilitate meetings between anime content holders, overseas buyers, and companies involved in content licensing and distribution.
