Establishment of Entertainment and Gaming Research Association as Japan’s Branch of Esports Research Network

A creative and professional image symbolizing the establishment of a Japanese institute for gaming and entertainment research as part of a global esports network, featuring abstract elements like game controllers, consoles, digital motifs, Japanese cultural icons (such as Mt. Fuji or cherry blossoms), and network graphics, but with no human figures present. The style should be modern, digital, and visually vibrant, suitable as a blog post cover image.

We are excited to announce the official establishment of the Entertainment and Gaming Research Association (EGRA) as the Japan branch of the Esports Research Network (ERN). This new milestone strengthens our mission to advance academic research and collaboration across the fields of esports, gaming, and interactive entertainment. Through this partnership, researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts in Japan now have new opportunities to connect with the global esports research community, share knowledge, and lead initiatives that shape the industry’s future.
