GEEK is a creative unit specializing in the content business of Geek Pictures Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Tamotsu Osano)
WONDERS is pleased to announce that we have launched a casting business specializing in characters.
GEEK
WONDERS specializes in the content business, producing characters, art, music, WEBCOMIC, etc., and managing creators.
In the character category, we have “Pink Panther,” for which we have sublicensing rights in Japan, as well as Dance & Vocal Monkey “DA.” PUMKEY” and “Super Milk Chan FOREVER (Heart)”, we are putting effort into creating and developing a number of characters. We have also developed and produced many corporate characters using our creative knowledge.
* ■Background of business launch *
There are many unique characters in Japan, and they are popular all over the world due to their uniqueness and creativity. However, we often receive inquiries from companies that feel they have hurdles in promoting or developing products using characters due to the complexity of the process flow, including business negotiations with rights holders, contracts, and supervision.
Therefore, GEEK WONDERS provides GEEK services such as advertising promotions, events, merchandising, music, publishing and distribution, etc.
Taking advantage of GROUP’s extensive experience in the entertainment field, we have launched a “Character Specialist Casting Business” that provides comprehensive support from character casting to creative production.
We will work with not only companies interested in using characters but also IP holders to contribute to disseminating Japanese character culture and supporting global sales promotions based on characters.
We also plan to exhibit at Licensing Japan, which will be held from Wednesday, July 3rd to Friday, July 5th, 2024, to introduce this initiative. We look forward to your visit.
