Sony is now Kadokawa's largest shareholder

Sony has become the largest shareholder of Kadokawa Corporation, a major Japanese media conglomerate, by increasing its stake to 6.06% through its subsidiary Sony Financial Group. This move was part of a third-party allotment of shares, which also saw Kadokawa issuing new shares to other investors like Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings and Mizuho Bank.
