AI’s evolution is unstoppable. That is precisely why we need new rules.
Japanese manga, anime, and game character IPs have generated over $450B in global sales as world-class cultural assets. Their reach extends to talent, novels, and scripts, holding immense untapped value. Yet in the AI era, no system exists to properly evaluate and monetize them. KAGAMIAI builds dedicated infrastructure connecting IP and AI to elevate IP value in the AI age.
In the AI era, IP rules start with Japan.
Source: Visual Capitalist, "The World's Top Media Franchises by All-Time Revenue" | Chart created by KAGAMIAI Holdings Note: Marvel-related IP is tracked as individual franchises such as "Spider-Man" and the "Marvel Cinematic Universe." In this chart, Spider-Man is counted under Disney.
Japanese anime, manga, and character IPs boast a global market size exceeding ¥67 trillion ($450B+), outscaling the Disney IP coalition (¥55.6 trillion). Yet, their true value holds vast room for further expansion. We provide a secure, highly transparent licensing management infrastructure bridging Japanese IP holders and AI companies. Through Kagami Gate, Japanese IP asset values could multiply exponentially by expanding use cases, diversifying revenue streams, and extending longevity.

Rethinking How Fans Engage with the IP They Love
Bringing this IP to PixVerse is deeply meaningful to us—not just as a business, but as fans. We hope this marks the beginning of a new relationship between AI and the stories we grew up loving—one that enables today's fans to engage with these worlds in fresh ways while passing the IP we cherished as children on to the next generation.
Jaden Xie, Co-Founder and President
To IP Holders and AI Enterprises
This is a monumental social experiment for humanity. AI is the first tool in human history that empowers individual fans to recreate beloved works with their own hands. When backed by a system that ensures fair IP usage and appropriate compensation for rights holders, AI becomes the ultimate force driving IP into an entirely new dimension.
Shall we step into this new era together?
