Greetings

In 2007, a new entertainment company was born in Nakano-ku (Tokyo), a district which is fast becoming a new center for entertainment subculture in the footsteps of the Akihabara district of Tokyo.

Bushiroad Inc. plans, develops, and sells many kinds of collectable card games. So far we have progressed smoothly in just our first year of business we had sales of 300 million yen and we are projecting nearly 5 times that level in the current year.

Why is our collectable card game in such demand? Two reasons: one is that those who used to play “Pokemon” and/or “Yu-Gi-Oh” cards (both mega-hits that were well known among kids living in Japan) are now grown up but still want to play card games. The other is that it is not novel anymore to have a collectable card games as part of a new animation/video game content release, so there are always new users entering the world. Therefore, the card game user population in Japan is on the increase.

So what do we have? By collaborating with some major content owners in Japan, we provide cards such as:

The trading card game Weiβ Schwarz has received good reviews and workshops to teach people how to play the game were held in more than 120 locations around Japan this spring. The cards of locally famous “moe” characters like “D.C./D.C.II”, “Little Busters! ” feature as the “Weiβ” side, and characters of “PERSONA3” by ATLUS, a famous game company, as the “Schwarz” side. In addition, new card game booster pack/box will be released in the near future.

Weekly Shonen Sunday V.S Weekly Shonen Magazine: “Weekly Shonen Sunday” and “Weekly Shonen Magazine” are both famous manga magazines in Japan for boys. These collectable cards games were developed featuring many popular manga characters from past and present magazines. New characterized card will be released from now on.

In Japan new manga, animation, video/online game, and figure content is created all the time. The popularity of this content is spreading internationally, spawning new trends such as “cosplay (costume play)”.

We provide new value fusing trading card with well-known content. Bushiroad’s office is in Tokyo and currently serves Japanese clients, but we are eager to share our fantastic cards all over the world. If you are interested in gaining the rights to our content in your country, feel free to contact us.
