Kadokawa did not specify that its goal of 40 animation titles includes only anime produced in Japan or targeting Japan.
The other objectives that Kadokawa will implement to strengthen its animation business are expanding license revenue, further expanding sales of anime-related games, and strengthening efforts with its allies CyberAgent and Sony.
Earlier this year, Kadokawa formed a capital alliance with CyberAgent, Inc. and Sony to strengthen its game and animation businesses.
Kadokawa Corporation announced last Wednesday that it had acquired the U.S. light novel and manga publishing company J-Novel Club.
