KADOKAWA Corporation is a privately owned company headquartered in Japan, founded in 1954 and employing approximately 380 individuals. The company's main product is content rights.
KADOKAWA Corporation is among eight major Japanese IP holders scheduled to pitch intellectual property to international buyers at the second edition of Tokyo IP Market: Adaptation & Remake, which will run from October 28-30, 2026, at TIFFCOM. Previously, on August 16, 2026, the publisher and anime producer, known for works such as *Re:ZERO* and *Oshi no Ko*, began targeting anime YouTubers in an escalating effort against copyright infringement and piracy, having been embroiled in a legal battle with three South Korean YouTubers since January. This follows an August 14, 2026, court decision that rejected a fair use claim and ordered YouTube to unmask anime recap channels; KADOKAWA aggressively responds to such infringers, equating narrated recaps using anime clips to piracy. Earlier, on August 13, 2026, KADOKAWA's subsidiary FromSoftware reaffirmed that *The Duskbloods* is still scheduled for a 2026 launch on Nintendo Switch 2, according to a new financial report. The same report indicated KADOKAWA's gaming business recorded a 37.4% year-over-year revenue decline in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, facing a difficult comparison following the launch of *Elden Ring Nightreign*, though the company expects recovery with *Elden Ring Tarnished Edition* and *The Duskbloods*.
