Leveraging our well-established relationships with leading Japanese animation IP holders, we offer premium IP resources along with ancillary support, as well as distribution and marketing services, to game developers. By collaborating with leading game developers, we bring high-quality and animation-themed gaming experiences to the game players/end-users worldwide. Over the years, we have built strong relationships with IP holders to obtain licenses for high-profile, well-established IPs with dedicated fan bases or those aligned with our strategic goals and target markets. Our agreements with IP holders define the scope of the licenses, including applicable regions, languages, and specific content permitted for game development, as well as royalty terms. Once we obtain IP licenses from IP holders, we provide game developers with seamless and compliant access to these IP resources, ensuring they have the rights needed to integrate IP content into their games. These resources enable developers to leverage the existing popularity of the IPs, attracting a broad audience and enhancing the games’ appeal and success. In addition to granting access to IP resources, we provide comprehensive support to game developers across various aspects of game development and distribution. Our other services include game distribution support including localization and translation of in-game content, IP related design support (such as sound effects, music, and interface elements), game distribution service including hosting games on our platform and distributing games to global audience through our established network and server resources and related software and systems.
