AneCan (姉キャン, Anekyan) was a Japanese fashion magazine published by Shogakukan. The name derives from Ane (姉) meaning "older sister" and Can from its sister magazine CanCam. The magazine targeted women in their mid-late twenties, previous readers of CanCam.

History and profile

AneCan was first launched in March 2007 as the magazine for women who have graduated from reading CanCam. "Ane" means "older sister" and "Can" comes from CanCam.[2]

For the magazines launch the department store Isetan and several clothing companies collaborated with AneCan to create completely new brands. On 14 March 2007, Senken Shimbun reported that the "AneCan Style" brands sold 30,000,000 JPY (~US$250,000) in just four days.[3]

On 10 August 2016, it was revealed that the magazine would be suspended after the December 2016 issue.[4][5]
