[Note] Leaders from BASE, Up-Stone, and the engineering team are huge anime fans!

We're launching this new venture driven by pure passion. This product will be extremely popular and highly talked about.

'Kintore' is a new premium IP product that fuses IPs, trading cards, and pure gold.

IPs with passionate fanbases. The globally expanding trading card market. And pure gold, universally recognized for its value.

By combining these three elements, we transform 'liking something' into a lifelong treasure.

We aim to create a new premium collection that fans genuinely desire, proudly own, and wish to pass on to future generations.

All cards carry the Mint's purity certification (hallmark), ensuring high-quality pure gold products. Each card is individually managed with a unique serial number, enhancing the rarity and reliability of limited editions. Furthermore, by establishing manufacturing technology and mass production capabilities for pure gold trading cards, we can provide stable supply to IP holders and publishers.

We will express the essence of IPs through premium products for anniversaries, theatrical releases, live tours, sports championship commemorations, limited events, and fan club exclusives—creating new revenue opportunities and elevating brand value.

Together with IP holders and publishers, we aim to create a new premium IP market originating from Japan.

Elevating IP Value to the Highest Level

IPs offer:

・ Fervent fans ・ Long-standing brand value ・ Stories passed across generations

Trading cards offer:

・ The joy of collecting ・ The pride of ownership ・ Premium value due to rarity

Pure gold offers:

・ Universal asset value ・ Timeless scarcity ・ Instantly recognizable worth

'Kintore' is the fusion of these three elements.

Previously, limited pure gold trading cards leveraging IPs have been released, selling out quickly and later trading at tens of times their original price—demonstrating strong market validation.

Moreover, due to their premium appeal, ownership pride, and passionate fan sentiment, fans rarely resell these cards, and they hardly appear in secondary markets. This indicates strong support for Kintore as a special collection that fans want to own for life.

'Kintore' is a dedicated pure gold trading card service designed to meet this market demand, enabling IP holders to continuously launch premium products.

Our mission is to elevate 'IP value to the highest level' by creating new collection experiences that move fans' hearts, while contributing to enhanced brand value and new revenue opportunities for IPs.

To Our IP Partners

True value is born only when there are fans who are emotionally moved by your works, share life milestones with them, and continue to love their worlds. That's why we want to deliver products worthy of these feelings. We aim to create collections that move fans the moment they hold 'Kintore'—items they will cherish for decades and someday wish to pass on to their families or the next generation. We strive to transform special moments in an IP's journey—anniversaries, movie releases, live tours, championship victories, fan club exclusives—into one-of-a-kind global treasures. That is Kintore's mission. Because Japan's world-renowned IPs deserve to be paired with the world-recognized value of 'pure gold,' we aim to create a new culture. Together with IP holders, we will create a new premium IP market from Japan—a product that becomes a lifelong treasure for fans.
