KODANSHA CORPORATE SITE Inspire Impossible Stories (original) (raw)
Inspire Impossible Stories. These are bold words, and they guide us every day.
We believe stories can change people’s lives. Every time we discover an author, publish a magazine, license a product, or deliver children’s books to those in need, we open the door to new worlds.
Our work reimagines possibility. Since our founding in 1909, we have remained dedicated to engaging our readers and viewers through new, thought-provoking narratives. Everything we share is meant to inspire and ignite ideas – to help us all imagine what’s never been possible before.
At Kodansha, we will continue crafting new stories that excite and inspire the impossible.

We exist to Inspire Impossible Stories. At the core of our purpose is the phrase "omoshirokute tame ni naru"– the balance of interesting (omoshiroi) and beneficial (tame ni naru) storytelling.
