The chairman of FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa Corporation has been charged with bribery, it’s confirmed.

Tsuguhiko Kadokawa, who oversees the entire corporation and its numerous publishing, media, film and video game companies, was arrested on September 14 on suspicion of bribery.

He has now been charged with bribing a member of the Tokyo Olympics organising committee with ¥69 million . The corporation released a statement following the charge, which read: “Kadokawa Corporation announces that Tsuguhiko Kadokawa, Chairman of the Board, who was arrested on suspicion of bribery on September 14 2022, was prosecuted by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office today.

“Today, I have decided to resign as chairman of Kadokawa,” Kadokawa said. “Recently, not only I but two other Kadokawa employees were arrested and prosecuted in connection with the corruption scandal involving the Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. “I feel it necessary to take responsibiity for this. This incident is a great ordeal for Kadokawa, and I believe that it needs a new structure in order to overcome it.”

Perhaps they can atone by releasing Bloodborne on PC

Please read the article next time people.

Time for Sony to buy out Kadokawa in the same why MS swooped in to snatch Activision when all hell broke lose. Or maybe that has always been the plan for this company? 🤔

He really tarnished his reputation then; what foolish ambitions 🙃

Sony it's time to acquire

Phil Spencer is involved and should be fire immediately!

SONY TENCENT which one did it inquiring minds wana know

Sony and Tencent invested in this company recently

Has to be the fault of Gamepass is gonna be the popular opinion among the Fanboys

I mean it's not just fromsoftware.

Should be charged for not pushing for a Bloodborne remaster

Bruh-

This straight out of a Yakuza game

From the article itself; 'He has now been charged with bribing a member of the Tokyo Olympics organising committee with ¥69 million ($476,000).' No it's not Sony, and it's not Microsoft.

It's japan, he probably picked up a dollar someone dropped on the street and was charged with multiple felonies

A business man accepting bribes... what?! Who could of seen this coming.

Elden bribe

No wonder Elden Ring is favored above Horizon Forbidden West Mindjack3r

Time for Phil Spencer to “re-evaluate their relationship” with Kadokawa?

Jim Ryan is somehow involved.

I blame Xbox
