KEY POINTS

The announcement says Hana Kuma will highlight “empowering” and “culturally specific” stories. In the past, Osaka had boycotted talking to the media saying they almost drove her into depression.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The SpringHill Company, founded by NBA star James and business partner Maverick Carter, will provide production and strategic resources to Hana Kuma, the release said.

Naomi Osaka, the global tennis star, is launching a media production company in partnership with The SpringHill Company, a media conglomerate created by Lebron James.

The company called Hana Kuma will produce scripted and nonfiction content, starting with a New York Times documentary about Patsy Mink, the first woman of color elected to U.S. Congress, according to a press release.

“There has been an explosion of creators of color finally being equipped with resources and a huge platform. In the streaming age, content has a more global perspective. You can see this in the popularity of television in Asia, Europe, and Latin America that the uniqueness can also be universal. My story is a testament to that as well,” she said.

The SpringHill Company, founded by NBA star James and business partner Maverick Carter, will provide production and strategic resources to Hana Kuma, the release said.

Hana Kuma also has partnerships with crypto exchange platform FTX and health platform Modern Health. In May, Osaka launched an athlete representation agency called Evolve.
