Konami Cross Media NY

Konami Cross Media NY (Konami Cross Media NY, Inc.) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Konami Digital Entertainment. It handles brand management, licensing, and marketing for the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, as well as the production and distribution of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series outside of Japan. The company was established in May 2012 as 4K Acquisition Corp., an indirect subsidiary of Konami Group Corporation, with the specific aim of acquiring the assets of the now-defunct 4Kids Entertainment (later known as 4Licensing Corporation). By June 2012, the company reached an agreement with 4Kids Entertainment to acquire their rights to the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime franchise. This acquisition included, in addition to all production materials, 4Kids’ internet domain names, website assets, print publications, and music and sound recording rights, along with their production unit, 4Kids Productions. In September of that same year, the company was renamed 4K Media (4K Media, Inc.). On April 1, 2019, its corporate name was changed to Konami Cross Media NY (Konami Cross Media NY, Inc.) to reflect its expanded role in managing Konami's brands beyond video games.
Beyond the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, Konami Cross Media NY also manages the following Konami video game properties: Bomberman, Contra, and Frogger. Completing the company's intellectual property portfolio is Rebecca Bonbon, an anime brand aimed at girls created by Yuko Shimizu.
