Through this initiative, the Company aims to expand the licensing, merchandising, and other business opportunities of popular IPs such as Godzilla and TOHO Animation titles.

Global Business Initiatives and Future Prospects

To strengthen the global reach of key properties, such as Godzilla and TOHO Animation productions, In North America, Toho International, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "TI") has already made significant progress in expanding the Company's business activities overseas.

"Our IPs and works, including Godzilla, have already gained significant recognition and popularity in various Asian markets outside of Japan. With the establishment of our local entity in Singapore, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the specific needs of fans and the unique characteristics of each market. This will enable us to enhance engagement with our IPs and works.
