Saitama Seibu will be holding a collaboration event with the manga and anime "Jungle Emperor" during the "The Lions 75th Anniversary Series" at the game against Chiba Lotte on Saturday, September 6th.

"Jungle Emperor" is a representative work by manga artist Osamu Tezuka, creator of Saitama Seibu official mascots Leo and Lina. Set in the jungles of Africa, the story depicts the relationship between humans and nature through the growth of Leo, a white lion cub raised by humans. As Tezuka lived along the Seibu Ikebukuro Line during his lifetime, in 1979 when the team joined Pacific League, Tezuka designed Leo as the team mascot, and the character is still used as the team flag and Leo mark to this day.

This collaboration was made to celebrate the 75th anniversary of The Lions naming and the 60th anniversary of the broadcast of the anime "Jungle Emperor." On the day, a 15cm tall Leo figure (The Lions 75th anniversary jersey version) will be distributed to all visitors except for those in certain seats, and 75 limited edition golden "Golden Leos" will be given away at random to commemorate The Lions' 75th anniversary.

Tickets for the event from Friday, September 5th, including the day of the event, will go on sale starting with a fan club advance lottery on Friday, July 4th. General sales will begin on Monday, the 14th.

▼Comment from Tezuka Productions Co., Ltd.▼
"Congratulations on The Lions' 75th anniversary. We look forward to seeing you play an active role like the king of the beasts, Leo. We will continue to support you."
