See it on page 4Akatsuki Inc. experienced a significant downturn in financial performance during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, characterized by a 44.0% year-on-year decline in net sales to ¥2,313 million. This contraction led to a widened operating loss of ¥1,698 million and a net loss of ¥1,167 million. The primary driver of this decline was the Games business, where revenue plummeted 52.3% to ¥1,782 million. This segment’s performance was impacted by a strategic portfolio review and a transition period for flagship titles such as Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle, resulting in a segment loss of ¥1,643 million. Furthermore, the company recorded a ¥103 million extraordinary loss stemming from the discontinuation of a specific game title and subsequent organizational restructuring.
Despite these challenges in the core gaming sector, the newly reclassified IP Solutions segment emerged as a growth driver, with revenue increasing 167.2% to ¥298 million and achieving a segment profit of ¥122 million following the consolidation of CRAYON, Inc. Conversely, the Comics business saw an 18.3% revenue decline, though it successfully returned to a modest segment profit of ¥20 million. Total assets decreased by ¥3,656 million during the period, settling at ¥50,976 million, yet the company maintains a robust financial foundation with a high equity ratio of 78.7%.
The current strategic trajectory involves a pivot toward large-scale, 3D multi-device projects designed for global markets. This shift aims to stabilize the Games segment by moving beyond traditional mobile constraints while leveraging the momentum found in IP-driven solutions. While the immediate financial results reflect the costs of reorganization and the volatility of existing game lifecycles, the emphasis remains on long-term scalability and the diversification of revenue streams across the broader entertainment landscape.
