Kodansha Ltd.

株式会社講談社

Kodansha is not simply a “manga company.” It is one of Japan's largest general publishers, spanning manga, literature, academic publishing, fashion magazines, news and documentary content, picture books, and game and anime IP. It is privately held and independently managed, and each year hires only a very small cohort—from single digits to the low twenties—into a specialist organization centered on editorial and business roles.

Main roles
Corporate sales & BD, Planning, marketing & business development, PR & IR, Corporate admin (HR, general affairs, accounting, legal), Interpreting, translation & international business

This page lists public facts and a one-line positioning only. The full report — what the company really does, how selection runs, and where the traps are, each claim graded by evidence — lives in the company library reader.
