Business Details
Engages in the planning, production, manufacturing, and sale of digital content and related products, including mobile games, home video games, and card games. In Japan, Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. handles the business, while overseas, Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. and others are responsible. The segment deploys flagship IPs such as eFootball™, Pro Yakyuu Spirits A (Ace), and Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel across multiple devices, and also focuses on expanding its fan base through esports. This is the most important segment, accounting for approximately 75% of the Group's consolidated net sales.

Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Continued strong performance and expanded monetization revenue from flagship mobile game titles centered on eFootball™ (cumulative downloads exceeding 1 billion)
- Strengthened international expansion of baseball game IP through the appointment of Shohei Ohtani as cover athlete and the MLB global partnership
- Expansion of the global fan base through esports tournaments (FIFAe World Cup, WBSC tournaments, Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship, etc.)
- Increased product net sales from new home video game titles such as "METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER" and "SILENT HILL f"
- Capturing new demand through support for new platforms, such as "eFootball™ Kick-Off!" for Nintendo Switch™ 2

Risks
- Risk of revenue concentration in flagship titles (poor performance of eFootball™ etc. directly impacts results)
- Risk of intensifying competition and stricter monetization regulations in the mobile game market
- Foreign exchange risk (high proportion of overseas sales, with earnings pressured during yen appreciation)
- Risk of declining profit margins due to rising game content production costs
- Risk of existing content becoming obsolete amid the rapid spread of AI and new technologies
