KADOKAWA is a company famous in Japan as a publisher and film company.

Its establishment is relatively recent, in 2014.
It is a large-scale enterprise formed by the merger of companies originating from Kadokawa Shoten, founded in 1945, and engages in various businesses across different fields.

While it performs book publishing and sales, which Japanese people associate with Kadokawa, it also once actively engaged in game development.
Currently, its game development business has been downsized, with the majority of it entrusted to its subsidiary, FromSoftware.

Nevertheless, its activities in the game and anime fields are extensive, including the active publication of game strategy guides, making it a company familiar to game and anime enthusiasts.
