Tennis star Naomi Osaka has raised $5M for her media company, which will spin out of LeBron James and Maverick Carter's SpringHill. “We really want to see her build her own version of SpringHill,” Carter says

Osaka says that when she entered the media business last year, James and Carter told her “not to be discouraged by anything and keep trying to just push barriers and learn along the way.

To that end, the spinout is also a big move for SpringHill, which had incubated the company since its launch last summer.“You know, it’s at the center of why we started the company and what we do, which is to really work with and empower creators — and we consider athletes creatives — and until this point, that really meant doing documentaries, making movies, having them be producers, we’ve even had athletes do photography for us.

For Hana Kuma, the new round means an expansion of its programming, including into the anime and manga spheres .
