DLE Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President, CEO, and CCO: Ryo Ono) is pleased to announce that the “Eagle Talon x Shimane Self-Deprecating Calendar 2026” will go on sale from Friday, October 3, 2026. The “Eagle Talon x Shimane Self-Deprecating Calendar” was first released in 2011 and sparked the “local self-deprecating” trend. It was featured on Nippon Television’s “Monday Late Night” and “Sukkiri!!” and Fuji Television’s “Tokudane!” shortly after its release, and is a desk calendar that is enduringly popular not only in Shimane Prefecture but nationwide, with cumulative sales exceeding 100,000 copies. Every year, we introduce things unique to Shimane with self-deprecating copy and illustrations of the Eagle Talon gang.

anniversary. Following last year, we’ve run out of self-deprecating material about Shimane, so we’ve used some carefully selected self-deprecating copy filled with love for Shimane, created by Shimane University students. The calendar also includes a special illustration by FROGMAN commemorating the Eagle Talon 20th anniversary. DLE supports activities that convey the charms of each region of Shimane Prefecture to many people through the friendly and relatable Yoshida-kun.

domination. And Deluxe Fighter, a champion of justice, stands in the way of their ambitions. This world-domination comedy depicts the interactions between the Eagle Talon gang, who fail at everything they do, and a hero whose righteousness is unclear. In April 2006, late-night broadcasts began on TV Asahi. It became the first animated series created entirely in Flash to be broadcast regularly in a 30-minute slot on terrestrial television, drawing attention, and in 2012 began airing nationwide on NHK Educational TV’s “Bit World.” In addition to being the world’s first theatrical film, the first character to have its own radio show, and airing on terrestrial television in the United States, the series shocked not only general fans but also the film and advertising industries with its innovative techniques such as product placement and naming rights. The popular content continues to this day, with collaborations with various companies, local governments, and characters, and merchandise development, and will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026. ■About DLE Inc.
