In Japan, manga artists are highly regarded and usually retain the rights to their creations, so while Toei Animation produces the One Piece anime series, Netflix worked directly with its creator, Eiichiro Oda, on the live-action series. Likewise, Toei and Saban are not involved in the live-action remake of Power Rangers, currently in the works at Disney+, as Hasbro acquired international rights excluding Asia to the franchise in 2018. However, Toei has an experienced international production and licensing team on hand to help potential partners navigate this complex landscape.
