There’s very little new content Naruto For many years it remained a massive franchise for fans around the world. What do you think is the secret? NarutoProduct-related or broader, long-term success?
Godinho: I’m actually taking part in toy previews, which was a conversation topic in many meetings. I think storytelling, character development and theme quality play a major role in properties that remain relevant, but I think it will go deeper than that. Naruto It was first available in the US in 2003 and was raised over the past 22 years through manga, anime, games and other media. This means that fandom has time to develop properly and can even be passed through different generations.
The second reason is that access to streaming platforms allows you to discover better content than ever before, even if it was released a year or decades ago. Main example: I always watch a 10 year old child watching old content on TV or his tablet. He desperately wants some kayou Naruto His birthday card later this month.
Your card was a huge hit all over Asia, but what prompted you to take you to the US? What specific about fandom here makes you think it will become a major market as well?
Godinho: I had the opportunity to work with him. Naruto Very early in my career, through both advocating for video games and manga sales in stores. Fans have supported the franchise since its launch. You’re looking at it in the form of sales over time, seeing strong placement in retail and online. I consider it an evergreen property within the anime genre, so it was really easy when it comes to US launch candidates.
What do you do? Naruto Does the card offer fans of US collectors who specialize in card collection? For example, who might already be familiar with the franchise Pokemon, Gundam, Hololive, yu-gi-ohetc?
Godinho: Craftsmanship and storytelling of our cards. When you have an exceptional foundation for content like Narutoit offers us to do a lot of work from a storytelling perspective. This allows us to showcase our corporate design talent by realizing these stories in every way possible on cards. We are very excited to see our fans see what we do.
As mentioned before, I have Naruto A fan of the home collecting cards, he has always been impressed with our quality compared to other collections. We get the same response from super fans, casual fans, and people who work in the card industry.
Can you talk more about these differences and how specifically the new US releases can help US audiences?
Godinho: Part of the US approach is to pay close attention to overall production by balancing it with ensuring that emptiness is strong and ensuring that rare cards are rare. Nothing matches the excitement of getting a “hit.” Naruto Fans can boast to their fellow fans when they pull something special that is meant to be. Therefore, a large part of our focus is on availability, updates and rarity to cater to the way our fans consume card content. The card market currently sees the good and bad aspects of availability, so we try to balance it, like our competitors.
Are there any franchises that Kayou plans to move forward to release us for the future?
Godinho: We talk with many franchise owners about bringing quality and storytelling to their property. Although we are not able to share updates at this time, we are actively considering many properties in a variety of genres, including anime. I really hope that I can share, but many of these conversations can be complex, dynamic and fluid. Plus, I want to save some surprises for the fans!
