About Genda

GENDA was listed on the Growth Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in July 2023.

Read full description

The company's business is divided into two main segments: the Entertainment Platform Business and the Entertainment Content Business. The core of its operations is the Entertainment Platform Business, which includes the management of amusement arcades like 'GiGO', karaoke chains such as 'Karaoke BanBan', and food and beverage services. The Entertainment Content Business focuses on character merchandising, content creation, and promotion, including movies and interactive content. GENDA has pursued an aggressive growth strategy centered on mergers and acquisitions, significantly expanding its footprint. A key milestone was the acquisition of Sega's amusement arcade business, which established GENDA as a leading player in Japan's arcade market. The company operates approximately 1,100 facilities and 13,000 mini-locations across Japan, North America, the United Kingdom, China, Taiwan, and other regions.

GENDA's business model relies on a roll-up M&A strategy, acquiring and integrating other entertainment companies to achieve economies of scale and expand its network. This includes expanding its North American presence through acquisitions of companies like Player One Amusement Group and National Entertainment Network. The company's revenue is primarily generated from its extensive network of amusement facilities and karaoke outlets. For the fiscal year ending January 2026, GENDA reported consolidated revenue of ¥170.7 billion.
