CATDOLL: Kadokawa Corporation internal reorganization Kadokawa Bookstore and Fujimi Shobo will disappear

Speaking of Japan's Kadokawa Bookstore, many people will not be unfamiliar with it. It has many anime magazines and light novels under its umbrella. However, according to the Nikkei report, KADOKAWA has decided to abolish the internal company system and reorganize the company by assigning different genres to newly established branches. This includes the cancellation of the organization name "Kadokawa Bookstore". In this way, the "Kadokawa Bookstore", which has a history of 70 years since its establishment, and the "Fujimi Shobo", which is very popular in the field of light novels, will disappear. However, these brand trademarks will still be preserved.

It is reported that KADOKAWA has now abolished the company system within the company and established new departments according to brand types to achieve organizational reorganization. While some employees are asked to resign voluntarily, some repetitive editing skills are concentrated to improve the work efficiency of employees. Although the names such as "Kadokawa New Books" are still retained, in terms of the name of the organization, "Kadokawa Bookstore", which has been around since Kadokawa started its business, will end its mission. In addition, "Fujimi Shobo", which has been operating in the light novel industry for many years and has a strong fan base, will also disappear.
