On July 9, 2026, Kadokawa's Editor-in-Chief of the Global Comics Department discussed the qualities of a successful manga creator at Anime Expo 2026, emphasizing the company's search for talent beyond Japan amidst manga's global growth. This follows the voluntary resignation of 154 employees from various teams by July 6, who accepted generous compensation packages offered by the Japanese media conglomerate two months prior. Earlier, on June 27, the company announced that "Made in Abyss: Awakening Mystery," the first film in a new theatrical trilogy, will open in Japanese theaters on October 23, 2026. Previously, on June 25, CEO Takeshi Natsuno retained his role despite efforts from activist investors to replace him. These investors claimed "material profit leakage" due to a failure to capitalize on the success of Elden Ring, leading to a decrease in Natsuno's shareholder support from 90% to 59.68% at the recent Annual General Meeting.
