I am sure that you, the shareholders, are all fine and doing well. Also, let me please express my appreciation for your heartfelt support extended to us.

 

 

 

 

Although some regions, IPs, and business categories recorded revenue declines, strong performances in the North American and European businesses for the “ONE PIECE” and “DRAGON BALL” series, together with growth in mainstay titles such as “GIRLS BAND CRY” and the “DIGIMON” series, particularly in the Licensing business, enabled us to maintain profit at a level roughly in line with the previous fiscal year. This demonstrates that our ongoing efforts to pursue “diversity and expansion in regions and IPs” have steadily produced results.

 

 

 

We announced in October 2025 our “business plan through fiscal 2030 with a view toward 2035,” looking ten years ahead.

The earning power of our business model is created through the multiplication of our “ability to produce” and “ability to deliver.” Our ability to produce is driven by studios and IPs, while our ability to deliver is supported by our domestic and overseas business platforms. Further strengthening each of these functions and creating a virtuous cycle of “IP enhancement” and “IP maximization” will be a key factor in dramatically accelerating our growth and achieving the goals of this Medium-Term Management Plan.

To strengthen each of these abilities, we have established four strategic pillars for growth: “studio evolution,” “IP enhancement,” “acceleration of regional expansion,” and “increasing customer contact points.”

We will be rolling out a wide variety of works and making strategic investments, so we hope you will look forward to what lies ahead.

We appreciate the further support and cooperation of the shareholders in the future.
