Record

For each named Western Pokémon licensee, who is paid, what art and term apply, and the most it can contribute to Western licensing income in 2025

2017-2026 (money columns 2025/FY2025)

EstimateA classification with ceilings. Upper limits are solid; the shares are not.

How it’s built

  1. Payee, art and term come from filings and press for each licensee.
  2. 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:
