What this is
A model of The Pokémon Company’s anime income for the year to February 2026: point about ¥4.5bn, plausible range ¥1.2–14.2bn.
How it’s built
- Start from TV Tokyo’s Pokémon royalty slice: point ¥1.9bn (range ¥1.2–3.3bn), never above the ¥6.8bn ceiling from its title ranking.
- Scale up to the whole Pokémon anime income pool using TV Tokyo’s assumed share of it (1/7 to 1/3).
- Take The Pokémon Company’s assumed share of that pool (30–60%), then add owned YouTube income (¥0.06–0.3bn). No film was released that year.
What we assumed
- TV Tokyo’s Pokémon royalty is about ¥1.9bn, within ¥1.2–3.3bn.Only the ¥6.8bn ceiling is firm; the research gives no direct figure, so this is a judgement inside that ceiling.
- TV Tokyo takes between one seventh and one third of the anime pool.No committee shares are published; this range is a judgement, and one of the main uncertainties.
- The Pokémon Company takes 30–60% of the pool, acting for the game owners.The research gives no direct evidence for this share; it is the main uncertainty.
- Owned YouTube income is ¥0.06–0.3bn and there was no film income.No Pokémon film had been released since December 2020; YouTube is a small add-on either way.
Sanity check
About 0.85% of the parent company’s ¥531bn revenue at the point. Even at TV Tokyo’s hard ceiling the range would be ¥6.1–28.6bn, so no firm upper limit results.
