Konami Cross Media NY, Inc. is an American production company owned byKonami.
Cross Media was founded in November 1992 as4Kids Productions, a subsidiary of4Kids Entertainment (which later became 4Licensing Corporation). After 4Kids was dissolved on June 30, 2012, due to a continued lack of profitability,[1] their production office would be acquired by Konami and renamed4K Media later that year. On April 1, 2019, the company adapted its current name; reflecting its expansion to manage Konami brands outside ofvideo games. In addition to the localization and license management ofintellectual property (IP), Konami Cross Media NY produces and develops new businesses using Konami-owned IP.[2]
Konami Cross Media NY is responsible for producingeditedEnglish-language adaptations of Japaneseanime series, primarily of theYu-Gi-Oh! franchise.[3] In addition to overseeing the licensing, sales, and distribution ofYu-Gi-Oh! in theUnited States,[4][5] Cross Media also manages Konami's gaming properties (includingBomberman,Contra andFrogger; as well asRebecca Bonbon, the girl's anime brand created byYuko Shimuzu).[6]
