UniJapan announced on August 20, 2026 the first batch of IP holders for the second Tokyo IP Market: Adaptation & Remake, held at TIFFCOM 2026. Eight publishing and film companies, including KADOKAWA, Shochiku, Toei, and Square Enix, will meet film producers from Europe, the U.S., and Asia seeking live-action adaptation and remake rights for Japanese IP. The event runs October 28-30 in Tokyo.
UniJapan confirmed eight IP holders for the second Tokyo IP Market: Adaptation & Remake, held during TIFFCOM 2026 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho Hall from October 28 to 30. The roster spans publishing and film production: Amuse Creative Studio, KADOKAWA, Nihon Bungeisha, Nippon Animation, Shochiku, Shufu to Seikatsu Sha, Square Enix, and Toei, listed alphabetically.
The market targets overseas producers from Europe, the U.S., and Asia, including Hollywood, who attend to negotiate live-action adaptation and remake rights. TIPM rebranded last year from Tokyo Story Market, which launched in 2023 to match original manga and novel adaptation rights. The remake-rights expansion adds film company holdings to the negotiation pool. A pop-up Japan IP Market ran at Cannes in May 2026.
