What this is
How the Japanese Pokémon toy licence in Takara Tomy's filings changed: The Pokémon Company named alongside ShoPro in at least the filings for the years to March 2013, 2014 and 2015, and absent after; terms of twelve months until the 2015 filing, then fourteen months (a year's licence plus a two-month sell-off).
How it’s built
- Read row by row from Takara Tomy's annual securities reports, comparing counterparty, term and product scope across filings.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
The 2015 filing is the turning point: scope narrowed, the sell-off was added and The Pokémon Company still appeared; a year later only ShoPro remained.
