The world of books is vast and exciting. We are proud to curate more than half a dozen genres. From novels to non-fiction, practical guides to children’s books, art books to essay collections, Kodansha uncovers new worlds and publishes across formats.

We continue our heritage of magazines publishing with an eye on culture. From literary to general interest, across digital and print, we reflect contemporary society in each issue – locally and internationally.

As the world consumes more contents than ever, adaptations continue to play an essential role in our portfolio. We now bring our favorite works to life across new, exciting mediums, such as anime, film, drama series and even stage plays to reach an ever-growing global fanbase. Recently, we’ve released manga adaptations with overseas partners, such as the Hollywood film, Ghost in the Shell, and the Korean drama series, Parasyte: The Gray.

Licensed products, such as action figures, keychains, snacks, charms and even promotions with cosmetic brands, continue to expand our presence in dynamic ways. In addition to our licensed games, we also publish indie games in-house.
