How it’s built
- Reported by gamebiz, a Japanese games trade site, covering TV Tokyo Holdings’ results: “Pokémon royalty income grew at home and abroad.”
What we assumed
- Calling it “royalty income” means TV Tokyo receives Pokémon royalties as a co-owner or licensee.That is the plain meaning of the word TV Tokyo itself uses; the amount is not disclosed.
Sanity check
A direction, not a size: TV Tokyo gives no yen figure for Pokémon.
Where it comes from
The line in the source
「ポケットモンスター」のロイヤリティ収入が国内外で伸長した。 In English
Pokémon royalty income grew at home and abroad; TV Tokyo itself calls it ロイヤリティ収入, i.e. TV Tokyo receives a royalty (it is a licensee/co-owner, not a fee-payer to itself)
