Color reproduction technologies, creative technologies, anti-counterfeiting and authenticity verification technologies

We have achieved high-quality color reproduction by utilizing the printing technologies we have cultivated in Japan for over 120 years. Through our advanced color management technology (CMS), we are standardizing and maintaining global quality by quantifying and adjusting color differences due to equipment and materials.

The appeal of TCGs also lies in their beauty and rarity—with an integrated framework where the Manufacturing Division manages quality for decorative effects planned and developed by the Creative Division, and anti-counterfeiting and authenticity verification technologies developed by the Engineering Division, we are supporting our customers with planning and developing their products.

Precise pull rate control aligned with our customers' sales strategies

We have a proprietary system in place to achieve product designs that are perfectly aligned with our customers' sales strategies. For every lot, we manage the number of appearances by rarity not only within packs but also within boxes and cartons.

Obviously, in this process where errors can be critical, we bring together our quality management expertise to ensure integrity.

A global logistics management framework

Our logistics management experts verify the safety standards of each destination country and export products to your designated destination.

In addition to exports from Japan to Asia, we provide one-stop coverage of exports from Japan to North America—where manufacturing costs are soaring—as well as domestic trucking within North America, and have developed consolidated manufacturing in Thailand for products bound for the rapidly growing ASEAN markets.

Product development capabilities for maximizing TCG Business

We are an IP Business partner providing end-to-end support, not only for TCG manufacturing but also for planning, manufacturing and quality assurance of peripheral goods such as sleeves, playmats, card cases, and card displays for collectors. By fully utilizing the characteristics of each property and combining TCG with related goods, we are expanding the ways of enjoyment and generating sales opportunities.

We also operate a production management system and security framework capable of handling assembly of set products combining TCG and related goods.

Promotion and event production capabilities for maximizing TCG Business

Our strength lies in proven promotion capabilities fusing the physical and digital realms.

By combining five functions—TCG planning & manufacturing, product development, Web & Social Media, physical touchpoints, and in-store promotion—we take a multifaceted approach to enhancing the brand value of TCG and IP content and creating new sales opportunities.

For event production that serves as a "direct touchpoint" with consumers in particular, we bring on board the latest technologies (DX) in spatial staging to deliver unprecedented customer experiences (CX). More than just the mere buzz, we also elevate that experience into sustained engagement, contributing to building long-term relationships with fans (improving LTV).

On a global level, we host "HYPER JAPAN," one of the largest Japanese content events in the United Kingdom. Utilizing robust networks with local pop-culture fans, we are expanding awareness and developing sales channels overseas for TCG and IP content.

Supporting TCG and IP Content Business as a licensee

As a licensee, we deeply understand the appeal of our customers' products, and operate a Merchandising Business linking up product planning, design, manufacturing, and sales. From product planning that captures the needs of the target market to a strong track record of reliable supply of high-quality products, we harness a network that builds up sales channels to help grow revenue for the TCG and IP Content Business of our customers.

An example that highlights this is in Japan—we operate a Merchandising Business for related goods in Akihabara, Tokyo, the home of TCG enthusiasts, as well as in London in the United Kingdom.
