What this is
The chain of Takara Tomy’s Japanese Pokémon toy licence: twelve back-to-back yearly terms from 2015 to 2027, each 14 months, with no gaps.
How it’s built
- Read the licence row in each Takara Tomy annual securities report on EDINET, Japan’s official filing system, for the years to March 2015 through March 2026.
- Each term runs 1 April to 31 May the following year: a 12-month licence period plus a 2-month sell-off.
What we assumed
- Reports are filed in late June, giving about 11 months of visible cover.That is when these reports are filed; the latest term then runs to the next 31 May.
Sanity check
Each new term starts the day after the last licence period ends. The licence is yearly in form and continuous in practice, never multi-year.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
