Square Enix acquired 93.7% of TAITO CORPORATION in September 2005 via a takeover bid, subsequently merging it with SQEX, Inc. to make Taito a wholly owned subsidiary.
The company's content production account decreased by ¥8,197 million to ¥7,312 million as of March 31, 2006, primarily due to expensing production costs for major titles like "FINAL FANTASY XII" and "KINGDOM HEARTS II" upon their domestic release.
