Business Details
An intermediate distribution business that sells toys, trading cards, and general merchandise to mass retailers, specialty stores, convenience stores, e-commerce platforms, and secondary wholesalers. Key affiliated companies include Happinet Hobby Marketing Co., Ltd., Max Games Co., Ltd., and Broccoli Co., Ltd. High-target products (trading cards, model toys) capturing adult demand and convenience store lottery products drive earnings, making this the core segment accounting for approximately 44% of the Group's total net sales.
Recent Overview
Segment net sales grew 13.5% and profit grew 24.1% on expanded lottery product and hobby distribution
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the Toys Business achieved net sales of ¥192,417 million (up 13.5% year on year) and segment profit of ¥11,317 million (up 24.1% year on year), driven by continued strong performance of lottery products including BANDAI SPIRITS' "Ichiban Kuji," contributions from hit products such as Bandai's "Tamagotchi Paradise," and expanded distribution of hobby products such as plastic models and figures. The profit margin also improved from 5.4% to 5.9%.

Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Market expansion of adult demand and high-target products (trading cards, model toys)
- Expanded supply of lottery products to the convenience store channel (BANDAI SPIRITS' "Ichiban Kuji," etc.)
- Diversification of handled items through expanded distribution of hobby products such as plastic models and figures
- Capturing demand through hit product creation by the Bandai Namco Group (a key supplier)
- Expansion of the e-commerce channel
- Business expansion strategy into upstream (strengthening planning functions) and downstream (strengthening event functions) areas
Risks
- Long-term contraction of the toy market for younger age groups due to the declining birthrate
- Earnings volatility risk from dependence on specific hit products/IP
- Increased procurement costs due to rising prices and raw material costs
- Changes in demand for packaged products due to diversifying and digitalizing consumer needs
- Intensifying competition as an intermediate distributor and disintermediation risk from upstream and downstream players
- Risk of changes in trading terms due to high dependence on procurement from Bandai and BANDAI SPIRITS
