The upcoming Tokyo Anime Fair 2011 that will be held in March in Japan has seen the number of exhibitors fallen to 91 from the original 153, with an estimated loss of 110 million yen (1.3 million dollars).
This may be caused by the recent Tokyo ordinance passed by Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara that prohibits the sale of "harmful" manga, anime and video games to minors.
The companies that withdrew from the Tokyo Anime Fair is seemed to plan another Fair that will be held on the same days that the Tokyo Anime Fair will be held.
