How it’s built
- Payee, art and term come from filings and press for each licensee.
- Money limits come from the research’s ceilings at ¥149.57 per dollar: Jazwares up to ¥21.5bn (shared with all toy makers), Disguise up to ¥3.6bn, Funko up to ¥1.7bn, LEGO zero in 2025.
What we assumed
- Licensees with no named licensor pay The Pokémon Company International.It licenses in-house outside Asia; several rows rest on this presumption.
- The money ceilings are as calculated elsewhere.Each uses generous sales figures and top-of-range royalty rates, so they are upper limits.
Sanity check
Nothing can be assigned as a point figure; no deal discloses a rate. By subtraction, smaller licensees must supply at least 73–87% of the estimated income.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes:
- EstimateThe most JAKKS could have paid in Pokémon costume royalties
- EstimateThe most all Western Pokémon toy licensees together could have paid in royalties in 2025
- EstimateBounds on what Jazwares, the Pokémon master toy licensee, pays in Pokémon royalties
- EstimateThe most Funko could have paid in Pokémon royalties
- EstimateLEGO’s total licence expense for 2025 converted to yen, against the estimated Western Pokémon licensing income
- EstimateHow much of the estimated Western Pokémon licensing income (¥98.5–204.3bn) named Western toy, costume and collectible licensees could supply¥26.8bn
