MIPJunior Spotlight: Konami Cross Media NY

Konami Cross Media NY has a range of Yu-Gi-Oh! series on offer, including the two-season show Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!

“This series is impressive for its well-written female characters, who bring humor and sensitivity to the program, along with tasteful references to older shows in the franchise,” says Mark Kirk, senior VP of distribution.

Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS features “positive messaging, diverse representations of characters and youth-oriented humor,” Kirk explains.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, “which remains very popular for its nostalgic appeal,” Kirk says, is also on offer.

At MIPCOM, Konami Cross Media NY is “looking to increase the availability of our new series and our strong library of titles,” Kirk says. “We are hoping to identify some new IP projects for review, with the goal of developing them to fit within our portfolio.”

He continues, “We are [also] looking to identify partners who can offer new and interesting ways to engage our Yu-Gi-Oh! fan base.”
