What this is
What ShoPro’s Pokémon division does: produces video and acts as the window for managing Pokémon merchandising in Japan.
How it’s built
- Read from the corporate brochure of ShoPro (Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions): the division handles “video production” and the “merchandising management window”.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Another line of the brochure limits the merchandising role to Japan. It describes a role, not who keeps the money.
Where it comes from
The line in the source
【映像制作】と【マーチャンダイジング管理窓口】を行っています。 In English
