Transaction forms capital alliance with K2 Pictures, invests in film fund

Transaction Co., Ltd. announced a capital alliance with K2 Pictures Inc., acquiring a portion of its shares, and an investment in the "K2P Film Fund No. 1 Anonymous Partnership," a film production fund operated by K2P. K2P, established by Muneyuki Kii in August 2023, focuses on film production and distribution. Transaction will acquire 1,200 shares (Class C Preferred Stock) for 103 million yen and invest 100 million yen in the fund.

This strategic move, approved by Transaction's Board of Directors on September 26, 2025, aims to capitalize on the growing entertainment market, particularly the "Oshi-katsu" fan activity trend. Transaction's subsidiary, TRANS Co., Ltd., which develops merchandise and novelty goods across various industries, will handle the design, manufacturing, and supply of promotional materials for K2P's film projects.

The alliance is designed to create a new funding ecosystem for Japanese films, with K2P leveraging Transaction's expertise in merchandise development. This collaboration seeks to enhance efficiency in promotional material production for K2P while allowing Transaction to contribute to the film industry's development.
