Oasis Management Overtakes Sony as Kadokawa’s Largest Shareholder

An announcement from Kadokawa Corporation ( (JP:9468) ) is now available.

Kadokawa Corporation has disclosed a shift in its shareholder structure, with Hong Kong-based activist fund Oasis Management Company Ltd. becoming its largest shareholder. Oasis increased its stake to 11.89% of voting rights as of March 18, 2026, overtaking Sony Group Corporation, which remains a significant holder with 10.04%.

Sony’s voting rights position is unchanged in absolute terms, but its ranking has fallen from first to second as a result of Oasis’s additional share purchases. The change, based on large-shareholding reports to the Kanto Local Finance Bureau, signals a stronger influence for an asset management investor and may alter future governance dynamics, even though Kadokawa says it has no specific outlook comment at this stage.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9468) stock is a Hold with a Yen3397.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kadokawa Corporation stock, see the JP:9468 Stock Forecast page.
