Thomas the Tank Engine is a character that is extremely popular among preschoolers and will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2025. "Thomas the Tank Engine" became a popular character when it appeared in the "Train Picture Book" series drawn by British clergyman Wilbert Audley, and was later adapted into a film by British film producer Britt Allcroft in 1984. . To date, the number of episodes has reached over 500, and it has been broadcast in over 200 regions around the world. In Japan, it has a history of over 45 years since the publication of the picture book and over 30 years since the TV broadcast, and is currently broadcast every Saturday on NHK E-Tele. In addition to products such as toys, picture books, and apparel, we are also developing products at numerous touchpoints, including various events, theme parks, and movies.
