⇒Page 7 to 8 of Financial Briefing Material

The production of SHIN ULTRAMAN, which is scheduled to be released in 2021, was announced on August 1, 2019. This project is widely reported by media and highly anticipated, as it will be produced and screenplay by Hideaki Anno, who worked on the Evangelion series and Shin Godzilla, and directed by Shinji Higuchi, who directed Shin Godzilla. The works they produced have made results in box office and number of visitors. Therefore, we expect a great success as well for SHIN ULTRAMAN.
Until now, Tsuburaya Productions Co., Ltd. had positioned movies as advertising campaigns to sell goods and its main source of earnings had been the broadcast syndication of old works. From now on, we are promoting businesses to steadily increase revenues from movies and video streaming, and SHIN ULTRAMAN is the first initiative. Furthermore, we aim to expand earnings by goods and license sales, through developing IP not only in Japan but overseas including Asia and Western countries.
