What this is
How Japan's National Diet Library catalogues The Pokémon Company: as a corporate name, ポケモン (Pokemon), with the note 'joint-stock company' (株式会社); the record dates from 2001–2002.
How it’s built
- Read from the library's authority record 00866928, retrieved in its machine-readable form.
What we assumed

Sanity check
